Belgian Jasper Philipsen wins Milan-San Remo. He is the first pure sprinter to win the race since Arnaud Démare in 2016.
In a small group sprint, the Alpecin-Deceuninck rider beat the Australian Michael Matthews and Tadej Pogačar to succeed his teammate van der Poel on the list of winners of one of the five most prestigious classics of the calendar. The last two climbs, Cipressa and the Poggio, are not selective enough to allow him to make a real difference.
