Wout VAN AERT (BEL/JUMBO - VISMA) wins Milan-Sanremo in 7:16:09 just barely ahead of last year's winner, Julian ALAPHILIPPE (FRA/DECEUNINCK - QUICK-STEP) | 
Wout van Aert, said in the press conference: “The effort on the Poggio was horrible for my legs. But last year it was similar to hold the wheel, and Strade Bianche last week also put me in a lot of pain. Luckily, nobody stayed in my wheel. When I reached the top, somehow I tried to believe that Julian was also on his limit. Then everything was to my advantage. It would have still been possible to come across to him on the flat but as I came back on the downhill I had a good chance to win.” |
“Today is a special day as I won my first Monument. By the end of my career, I’d be happy to have very diverse achievements to my credit on the road as well as in cyclo-cross. As a Belgian, the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix are on top of my list. I climb quite well and I have a good TT. Everything except Grand Tour victories should be within my capabilities.” |
