Tadej Pogacar Wins Milan–San Remo After Late Crash in Two-Man Sprint Over Tom Pidcock

The world champion now lacks only Paris–Roubaix to complete the set of cycling's five Monuments.

Overview

  • He crashed around 30–33 km before the Cipressa, remounted with torn kit, and was paced back to the front by UAE Team Emirates-XRG teammates.
  • Pogacar attacked on the Poggio, dropped defending champion Mathieu van der Poel, and edged Tom Pidcock by a half‑wheel on Via Roma.
  • Wout van Aert outsprinted the chasers to secure third place.
  • The win makes him the first reigning world champion to take San Remo since Giuseppe Saronni in 1983 and moves him level with Roger De Vlaeminck on 11 Monument victories.
  • In the women's race, Lotte Kopecky prevailed as Debora Silvestri was hospitalized after a Cipressa descent crash, with later updates citing stable condition and injuries including five broken ribs and a shoulder microfracture.
