Milan San Remo- NB. spoilers!

;D ;D ;D

Close call, but he got it!

That boy is VERY fast; did you see the gap he bridged at the end?

*edit - most riders spend their whole career going after these wins, he got it on his first attempt!

Look out for Haussler collapsing after finishing.

Awesome.. Haussler was so close but boy can cav move..

To quote Boonen from Cyclingnews
Quote
From others, Boonen doesn't expect too much resistance. "Cavendish? I don't think he will still be there when we hit the last two climbs." Boonen found Haussler impressive lately but doesn't think Cervélo could control the race.
Cav 4 Tom 0 so far...

And he's 2km short of a 300.. He'll never get his SR at that rate..

Simply awesome.

What long-range odds on a cyclist winning Sports Personality of the Year 2 years running if he keeps this up?  8)

They took 2sec out of  the bunch in 100m - awesome.

Credit to Haussler, his jump was tremendous, but he had a chance to wind it up "out of sight" but Cav just went off the front,  Words fail  ;D

This one has overhead shots.

I cannot believe how fast cav caught up at the finish. That is some sprint after nearly 200miles.

I've finally seen the youtube clips & it's just amazingly how much distance Cavendish has to make up in the final few meters & he does it too. When I watched the video with the overhead shots I simply didn't comprend how he could make up that distance, but he does. And he's still only 23 years old. He seems to be going better than last year, when he won 2 stages of the Giro & 4 stages of the Tour, so what will he do this year?!

What on earth am I doing here on this beautiful day?! This is the only life I've got!!
