Tadej Pogacar won Milan-San Remo despite a crash, showcasing his resilience and dominance in cycling.
Pogacar made his decisive move just as he had done two years ago on the Monte Sante Marie gravel section. His UAE Team Emirates colleagues had put the hammer down heading into that section and once Pogacar attacked on a tough climb, he quickly distanced everyone else. Seixas was the rider who resisted the longest even briefly dragging back Pogacar before the world champion accelerated again and disappeared over the horizon for good.

At the heart of the GREVIL MX is directly from Pinarello's Dogma XC playbook. A 67.75° head angle and 101mm of trail mirror the front-end numbers of the DOGMA XC hardtail. That slack, confidence-inspiring front end pairs with the Pinarellos' in-house, flagship MOST Talon Ultra Light integrated cockpit. The result is a lower, more compact riding position, and it should keep the GREVIL MX fast and efficient on hardpack and smoother terrain.
