Milan San Remo: Cancellara Wins

Today was the 99th running of Milan-San Remo road race, the first major spring classic. I can't wait to the see the coverage, but according to Cycling News Cancellara attacked with 2km left in the race and held it to win. We all know he is an excellent Time Trialist, but to attack with 2km left in a 297km race (for those not versed in metric, that is an attack ~180 miles into a race) and have it stick is showing some serious strength. I don't know the specifics of how much he worked in the break and how much he drove the break, but it will be interesting to see an attack like that after the Poggio.
