Milan-Sanremo

Milan-Sanremo is a prestigious, challenging one-day classic cycling race held annually in Italy. It's one of cycling's five 'Monuments'. The race is newsworthy due to the 2026 edition, which saw Tadej Pogacar, a cycling superstar, triumph despite a significant crash 32 kilometers from the finish line. Pogacar managed to recover and rejoin the peloton, ultimately winning in a final sprint against Tom Pidcock. Wout Van Aert completed the podium. This victory marks Pogacar's first Milan-Sanremo win, adding to his impressive palmares of Monument victories, leaving only Paris-Roubaix as the remaining Monument he has yet to conquer. The dramatic nature of his win, overcoming a crash to secure victory, highlights Pogacar's resilience and cements his status as a dominant force in cycling.
