Tadej Pogačar promised to return to Milan-San Remo in 2026, to try to win again and perhaps make amends for another defeat at the hands of Mathieu van der Poel.
As expected, UAE Team Emirates-XRG blew-up Milan-San Remo on the Cipressa climb, as Tim Wellens set an infernal pace on the lower slopes. Jhonatan Narváez then dragged Pogačar up to the front to deliver one final leadout, before the World Champion danced away on the pedals at maximum power in his usual style.
