The 2022 edition of Milan-San Remo is underway, with the riders having rolled out from the historic Vigorelli velodrome to kick off 293 kilometres of racing.

Illness has swept through the peloton in recent weeks, taking several big favourites out of action ahead of La Classicissima. But despite the absences of Jasper Stuyven, Julian Alaphilippe, and Caleb Ewan, there were still plenty of big names lining up in Milan ahead of a long day on the bike.
