Belgium’s Jasper Philipsen won the fastest-ever Milan-San Remo race in a photo finish on Saturday.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Alpecin-Deceuninck rider, 26, edged out Jayco-AlUla’s Michael Matthews to claim the first Monument of the season.<\/p>\n

Britain’s Tom Pidcock was in contention before Philipsen came through to win the prestigious one-day Spring Classic.<\/p>\n

“It’s an incredible feeling,” he said. “It makes me really proud and happy, especially after the lead out I got from Mathieu van der Poel.”<\/p>\n

Philipsen’s team-mate Van der Poel was last year’s winner<\/a>, and the Dutch rider was expected to battle it out this time with five-time Monuments winner Tadej Pogacar.<\/p>\n

But Philipsen surged ahead in the sprint on the final kilometre to clinch victory after six hours 14 minutes 44 seconds, with Pogacar third for UAE Team Emirates.<\/p>\n

The average speed for the race, which is the longest of the Classics at 288km (179 miles), was 46.11km\/h, breaking the record of 45.8km\/h set by Gianni Bugno in 1990.<\/p>\n

“It was a fast race all day but I was feeling very good all the time,” added Philipsen, whose previous best finish at a Monument was second at Paris-Roubaix last year.<\/p>\n

“I believed in myself but everything had to go to perfection. I managed to come back.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
