Tadej Pogačar failed to continue his spring winning streak at Milan-San Remo but was proud to have raced aggressively, helping to make the sports longest race far more thrilling than usual.

UAE Team Emirates tried to explode the peloton on the Cipressa climb, with only 30 or so rides left up front at the summit. Then Pogačar attacked three times on the Poggio as he looked to distance the likes of Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix), Michael Matthews (BikeExchange-Jayco) and the rest.
