Matej Mohoric triumphs at Milan-San Remo after thrilling descent of the Poggio
In a move he claimed was planned over the winter, Matej Mohoric (Bahrain-Victorious) caused an upset in the first of cycling’s Monuments after riding clear of an illustrious field on the descent of the Poggio to win the 113rd edition of Milan-San Remo in some style. Despite a late scare – a dropped chain inside the final kilometre – Mohoric kept his cool and held off a late surge from Frenchman Anthony Turgis (TotalEnergies) to become the first Slovenian to win La Primavera. Ad/> Dutchman Mathieu van der Poel, making his first appearance of the season for Alpecin-Fenix, completed the podium ahead of the Australian Michael Matthews (Team BikeExchange-Jayco) and Slovenia’s Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates).
