Bloodied, bruised and battered Tadej Pogacar finally won the Milan-San Remo race. Pogacar recovered from a crash about 30km from the finish to edge out Tom Pidcock on the line and win the race known as La Classicissima for the first time on Saturday.
Milan-San Remo is one the longest one-day classics in Europe at almost 300km, and the first of the season.It was one of the few titles that still eluded Pogacar, one of cycling's biggest stars, and he admitted several times to being desperate to change that.
