Dutch cyclist Mathieu van der Poel won the prestigious Milan-San Remo 62 years after his grandfather with a late solo attack.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The 28-year-old broke away on the Poggio di San Remo summit with little more than five kilometres remaining.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Italy’s Filippo Ganna was second, 15 seconds back, pipping third-place Wout van Aert and Tadej Pogacar to the line.<\/span><\/p>\n

Van der Poel’s maternal grandfather, French cyclist Raymond Poulidor, won the one-day Monument race in 1961.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I cannot imagine a better scenario than this one,” said the Alpecin-Deceuninck rider, who becomes the first Dutchman to win Milan San-Remo in almost 40 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This is one of the races I really wanted to win. The way I won it today, it’s beyond expectation. I’m really happy with this one.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Poulidor, who finished on the podium of the Tour de France eight times without ever winning the yellow jersey, died in 2019 at the age of 83.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I heard Milan-San Remo was the only Monument he won – it’s nice to win the same one,” said Van der Poel.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This race doesn’t offer many chances. Great champions have never won here. I’m proud to have done it.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Hennie Kuiper was the last rider from the Netherlands to win the race in 1985.<\/span><\/p>\n

France’s two-time world champion Julian Alaphilippe was involved in a crash midway through the race during the descent of the Passo del Turchino, changing his bike before rejoining the peloton.<\/span><\/p>\n

Van der Poel raised his arms in celebration as he approached the finish line, stopping the clock in six hours, 25 minutes 23 seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It wasn’t as hard as previous years but I already felt my legs were really fresh,” he said. “I knew I wanted to place an attack at the end of the Poggio.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The 294km Milan-San Remo is one of five prestigious ‘Monument’ one-day races in cycling along with the Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, Liege-Bastogne-Liege and Giro di Lombardia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Van der Poel has twice won the Tour of Flanders, in 2020 and 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

Britain’s Tom Pidcock – who won the Strade Bianche classic last month – <\/span>missed the race after suffering a concussion<\/span><\/a> in Sunday’s final stage of the Tirreno-Adriatico.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mark Cavendish was the last British rider to win Milan-San Remo, for Colombia-HTC in 2009.<\/span><\/p>\n
