Watch Milan-San Remo 2026 live streams to see who emerges victorious in the first of the five classic races this season, with all eyes on Tadej Pogačar and Mathieu van der Poel as they renew one of the sport's great rivalries. The 117th edition of La Classicissima di primavera – the Spring Classic of the Classic – is one not to be missed.

The pair will face off for the first time this season after several thrilling battles in 2025, including in this very race, when Van der Poel sprinted to victory. The Alpecin-Premier Tech rider enters this year’s race in good form, having triumphed at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and won two stages in the Tirreno-Adriatico.

However, he will expect a serious challenge from Pogačar who is seeking his maiden Milan-San Remo victory. The 27-year-old Slovenian was third in 2025, but along with Paris-Roubaix, this is one of only two Monuments the four-time Tour de France champion has yet to win.

He should certainly be full of confidence after his dominant season debut victory at Strade Bianche a week ago. He can also call upon support from his UAE Team Emirates-XRG teammate, Isaac del Toro, who just won Tirreno-Adriatico.

Other names to watch out for in the 298km race are Wout van Aert, Milano-Torino winner Tom Pidcock and Filippo Ganna, second to MVDP last year, while the women’s race has an equally impressive field that includes reigning champion Lorena Wiebes, Demi Vollering and Visma duo, Pauline Ferrand-Prevot and 2012 Olympic road race gold medallist Marianne Vos.
