Tadej Pogacar secured his Milan-San Remo victory on Saturday, though he sustained scrapes and cuts on his leg from a crash during the race, according to major media reports. Pogacar has now won four of cycling's five monuments, with only Paris-Roubaix remaining, as reported by major media. The exact nature and severity of his injuries beyond the reported scrapes and cuts remain unclear, as does the specific reason for his crash about 30km from the finish.
Tom Pidcock narrowly lost to Pogacar at Milan-San Remo, capping a strong run of recent performances. Major media reports indicate Pidcock won the Milano-Torino race, beating Tobias Halland Johannessen by four seconds. That victory was his first in a one-day race since the Amstel Gold Race in 2024 and kept him in good form heading into Milan-San Remo, according to major media. The detailed impact of his March crash on his training and performance leading up to these wins is not fully known.
Key moments in Milan-San Remo included a crash involving Mathieu van der Poel, as reported by major media. Pogacar, Pidcock, and van der Poel formed a leading trio on the Cipressa climb during the race, according to major media.
Pidcock's recent success extends to the Tour of the Alps, where he won stage three, according to major media. He beat Tommaso Dati and Egan Bernal in a sprint to secure that stage victory. Pidcock is riding the Tour of the Alps in preparation for Liege-Bastogne-Liege, as reported by major media.
Injury concerns persist for several riders. Major media reports that Pidcock suffered a high-speed crash in March during the Volta a Catalunya, with the exact nature and severity of his injuries from that incident still unclear. Ben Tulett finished third in La Fleche Wallonne, according to major media. The recovery timelines for Pogacar and Pidcock from their respective crashes remain uncertain, potentially affecting their upcoming race schedules.
