An insane race of almost 300 kilometers Milan-San Remo is known as a race that only really ignites in the final, and this edition did not disappoint. After a long build-up, the race was decided on the famous climbs of the Cipressa and the Poggio. However, things already went wrong in the run-up to that final. Due to a crash, several favorites were involved, including Pogacar and Van Aert. The race seemed to completely open up for a moment. Pogacar crashes and returns Where many riders struggle to return after a crash, Pogacar showed why he belongs to the absolute world elite. Despite a deficit, he managed to fight his way back to the front. Once back in the peloton, he didn't hesitate for a moment. On the Cipressa, he still launched his attack, exactly as expected beforehand. Only Tom Pidcock and Mathieu van der Poel could follow. Van der Poel has to drop on the Poggio On the Poggio, the last climb of the day, the decision fell. Pogacar accelerated again and this time Van der Poel had to let go. The Dutchman could no longer follow the pace and was later overtaken by the chasing group. Pidcock did manage to hang on, so the victory was decided between two riders. Sprint decides the race In the final kilometers, Pogacar and Pidcock worked together to maintain their lead. On the Via Roma, it came down to a sprint between the two.
