Prior to 2023, when Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) came second at Milan-San Remo, he had never finished in the top 50 of the first Monument of the season.

The sixth outing at the race, however, saw a new form of the Italian star as he expanded his talents away from the track and time trial discipline and established himself as a real Classics contender, a rider who looked capable of competing for the biggest one-day wins.
