SANREMO, Italy: Belgian Wout van Aert won the Milan-Sanremo 'Monument' classic, beating defending champion Julian Alaphilippe of France in a tight sprint finish after 305km on Saturday .

Team Jumbo-Visma rider Van Aert, who won the Strade Bianche classic last Saturday, was the only rider able to follow Alaphilippe's brutal attack in the ascent to the Poggio, some seven km from the finish.The race was scheduled for mid-March but was postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Van Aert could barely hold Alaphilippe's wheel at the top of the Poggio but he managed to rein in the Deceuninck-Quick Step rider in the descent.

The Frenchman played it smart in the final straight, letting Van Aert start the sprint, but the Belgian eventually had a little more left in the engine on the Via Roma."On the Poggio I was on the limit. Alaphilippe went earlier than me and I could barely hold his wheel," said Van Aert.Alaphilippe said the best man on the day had won."I'm happy to be back in shape. Being on the podium in Sanremo is a testament to that.
