Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin–Deceuninck) received Milano-San Remo for the primary time, 62 years after his grandfather Raymond Poulidor was victorious within the well-known race.
Van der Poel broke clear simply earlier than the highest of the Poggio to get away from Tadej Pogacar (UAE Staff Emirates), Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) and Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers).
Ganna managed to take second on house soil, with Van Aert in third and Pogacar in fourth.
