Alpecin-Deceuninck’s Mathieu van der Poel won Saturday’s Milan-San Remo in fabulous fashion with a thrilling attack. Van der Poel went clear from a group with Tadej Pogačar, Wout Van Aert and Filippo Ganna on the Poggio. He follows in his grandfather’s tire tracks: Raymond Poulidor took the Milan-San Remo 62 years ago.
Watch how much faster a WorldTour rider is than a regular cyclist
The speed and ferocity of his attack was something else. Take an up close and personal look at his massive burst. You can bet that Pou-Pou would be proud. It was the fastest time up the legendary climb in history.
