Milan San Remo, the first monument of the Spring Classics season thrilled fans over the weekend. It’s a race that can end in a bunch sprint, a rare solo breakaway, or a three-up sprint for the line.

This edition was stacked with Cyclocross Worlds medalists as favorites, with defending champ Wout van Aert (Jumbo Visma), 2021 Strade Bianche winner Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin Fenix), Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck Quick-Step), Peter Sagan (BORA – Hansgrohe) and Tom Pidcock (INEOS) all headlining the race.

Former winners Michal Kwiatkowski (INEOS), Arnaud Démare (Groupama–FDJ), John Degenkolb (Lotto Soudal), Alexander Kristoff (UAE) and a slew of cyclists who avoid mud lined up in hopes of preventing a cyclocrosser from stealing yet another monument.

Of course, all eyes were on Van der Poel, Van Aert and Alaphilippe, which allowed a large group of strong riders, like Caleb Ewan (Lotto–Soudal), Peter Sagan (Hansgrohe), Michael Matthews (BikeExchange) and Greg van Avermaet (Ag2r-La Mondiale) and others to be in the final.

In the end, Van der Poel kicked off a group sprint to bring back two leaders, and three cyclocrossers finished in the top five, but it was Trek Segafredo’s Belgian Chocolatier, Jasper Stuyven who narrowly stayed away after his attack within the final kilometers to take a thrilling win of this year’s La Classicissima.

Other notable cyclocrossers in the field included Gianni Vermeersch (Alpecin Fenix) and Zdenek Stybar (Deceuninck Quick-Step).

See the full results below.

Let’s hope the promoters add a women’s race to this legendary event.
