Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Merida) attack atop Poggio to win 2018 Milan San Remo.
In a nail-biting finish the Italian attacked on the Poggio and managed to hold off the peloton to win by just a few meters, as Caleb Ewan (Mitchelton-Scott) and Arnaud Demare rounded out the podium.
The riders woke up to heavy rain in Milan, and it continued to pour as they arrived at the start in the shadow of the Castello Sforzesco in central Milan to sign on and prepare for seven hours in the saddle, bellies full from the morning's feast of carbohydrates.
Despite the conditions, the riders seemed happy to be racing and excited to contest the first Monument of the season. Teams signed on together, with Bora-Hansgrohe and Team Sky the last on stage, reflecting their importance and success in 2017. UCI President David Lappartient was also at the start and posed for photographs with Sagan.
