After so long without a win at Milan-San Remo for the fast men, Jasper Philipsen made it the sprinters’ Monument once again, as he took the victory ahead of Michael Matthews and Tadej Pogačar in the sprint to the line on the Via Roma.
The Alpecin-Deceuninck rider had been dropped on the Poggio following two attacks from Pogačar, which his teammate Mathieu van der Poel was forced to close down. However, the unwillingness from the two to cooperate with each other on the descent allowed several other riders to come back to the front group before the finale.
