Overview
- Pogacar crashed roughly 30–33 km from the finish, tore his kit, remounted quickly, and rejoined the peloton with strong UAE Team Emirates-XRG support.
- He attacked on the Poggio after an earlier move on the Cipressa, dropped Mathieu van der Poel, and carried Tom Pidcock to a two-man showdown on Via Roma.
- The Slovenian led out the sprint and won by a sliver over Pidcock, while Wout Van Aert secured third from the chasing group.
- The victory makes Pogacar the first reigning world champion to take Milan–San Remo since 1983 and leaves Paris‑Roubaix as his remaining Monument.
- In the women’s race, Lotte Kopecky won after a Cipressa‑descent pile‑up; Italy’s Debora Silvestri was hospitalized in stable condition with reported broken ribs and a shoulder microfracture.
