Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) had to find satisfaction in yet another placing a Milan-San Remo but seemed genuinely content with fourth place after an opaque return to racing at Strade Bianche and the knowledge and obligations of a compact rescheduled 2020 season that includes both the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia.

Sagan was riding his tenth Milan-San Remo and still chasing his first victory. He has never finished outside of the top 20 but has finished second twice and now fourth four times.
