Mathieu van der Poel holds off Filippo Ganna and Tadej Pogacar in a thriller to win the Milan-San Remo one-day classic for the second time.

Even with a new tactic, Tadej Pogacar still couldn’t win the Milan-San Remo. Pogacar attacked earlier than usual — on the penultimate Cipressa climb — but Mathieu van der Poel followed the Slovenian standout every step of the way and eventually won a three-man sprint Saturday that also included Filippo Ganna. “He tried everything he could,” Van der Poel said of Pogacar, the reigning world, Tour de France and Giro d’Italia champion.

Tadej Pogacar has developed a love-hate relationship with the Milan-San Remo race over the years. “Milan-San Remo is probably the race that will torment me for the longest time,” the three-time Tour de France winner said at the end of last year. The obvious alternative is to attack up the penultimate climb, on the Cipressa, which comes a bit more than 20 kilometers from the finish.
