Last year, Mathieu van der Poel improved the top time on the Poggio di San Remo, but it was just not the fastest Milan-San Remo ever. So this year both records will be broken. With an average speed of 45.99 kilometers per hour, the race is slightly faster than in 1990: when the race was completed at a speed of 45.80 kilometers per hour. At the time, the race was 6 kilometers longer.
It also went faster than ever on the Poggio. The record was held by Mathieu van der Poel, who climbed the slope last year in 5:40 minutes. This year Pogacar and Mathieu van der Poel were according to timing CyclingFlits another second faster; it took them only 5:39 minutes to climb the slope.
This year the circumstances were a lot less favorable for a fast time. While the drivers had a strong tailwind of approximately 29 kilometers per hour on the Poggio last year, there was now a crosswind that was only 9 kilometers per hour strong. A great effort Pog in MvdP So.
