relive the Milan-San Remo race, won by Wout Van Aert

This is the end of this 111th edition of Milan-San Remo.

Big favorite this year, Wout Van Aert wins ahead of Julian Alaphilippe. The Belgian, specialist in cyclo-cross (triple world champion in the discipline), signs his most beautiful victory, a week after his triumph over the Strade Bianche. A double that had achieved last year … Julian Alaphilippe. Wout Van Aert is back to his best level, twelve months after his terrible fall during the last Tour de France.

“I’m very happy I can’t believe the double I got after last week’s win, rejoiced the winner on arrival. It is really crazy. We had to hold on during Alaphilippe’s attack, I had to close the gap. I had to keep the effort going, and Julian played it really well. “

Second of the day, therefore, Julian Alaphilippe blasted the race in the Poggio, last difficulty of the day and justice of the peace of this edition. Not always calm on the descent, the Deceuninck-Quick Step rider then started the sprint, 400 meters from the finish. But Wout Van Aert had more juice this Saturday than the Frenchman, still the victim of a puncture not far from the Cipressa.

“I am very happy to be on the podium, reacted Julian Alaphilippe. I knew Wout would be very strong. He deserves his victory. On the Poggio, he accompanied me, I saw immediately that I could not tell the difference. It was a very hard sprint at the end. The best have won. “

Thank you to everyone for following this race with us. We meet from 7 pm (on another live) for football and the Champions League. On the program: Barcelona-Naples and Bayern-Chelsea. See you soon, then!
