It is hard to believe that across 117 editions of Milan-San Remo a new script would be written. Such was the case Saturday when three contenders crashed 32km from the finish and two of them, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike), regrouped and battled to podium finishes.
The World Champion picked up his same bike after the crash just 6km short of the preferred attacking climb of the Cipressa and launched several vicious accelerations to close down the peloton quickly. He would go on to win his first La Classicissima in dramatic style.
