Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) blasted an attack across the summit of the Poggio and powered away for a solo victory at 2023 Milan-San Remo.

From the trio of chasers behind, Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) accelerated near the finish to secure second place, while Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) finished just ahead of Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) for the final spot on the podium.

The 294km Monument began outside Milan in nearby Abbiategrasso and nine riders formed the break of the day. With a tailwind along the Mediterranean coast, the race burst into high speed for the final attacks on the Poggio to the finish in Sanremo.
