March 18 (Reuters) - Dutchman Mathieu van der Poel won the Milan-Sanremo on Saturday to claim the first Monument of the season, 62 years after his grandfather won the race. However, Van der Poel launched his attack on the summit of the Poggio with 5.5km to go and stormed into the lead, extending it as they entered the city with the other three riders fighting it out for second place. The victory was Van der Poel's third after winning the Tour of Flanders in 2020 and 2022, following in the footsteps of his French grandfather Raymond Poulidor who won the race in 1961. It's one Monument every rider wants to win one day," Van der Poel said with a smile. Milan-Sanremo is the longest Monument race at 294 kilometres this year.
Câștigătorul ediției din 2012 a cursei, Bradley Wiggins, a declarat că nu simte compasiune pentru fanul implicat. „Aceste lucruri fac parte integrantă din spectacolul Turului Franței”, a declarat el la Eurosport, adăugând că astfel de incidente se petrec frecvent, sunt spontane și nu pot fi prevenite. A fost unul dintre cele două accidente majore din timpul etapei. Al doilea a avut loc cu 8 kilometri înainte de final, printre cei implicați fiind cvadruplul campion Chris Froome și mulți alții. Julian Alaphilippe a atacat surprinzător pe ultimii metri și a câștigat prima etapă a cursei, preluând astfel tricoul galben.
