After multiple attacks from the those expected to vie for the win on the Via Roma in Sanremo on the way up the Poggio di Sanremo the peloton crested the climb all together. So that is when Matej Mohoric (Bahrain-Victorious) launched the surprise move that seemingly no one expected. Everyone thought it would be about the climb of the Poggio, but instead the Slovenian champion proved it was more about the descent of that fabled climb. He quickly opened a gap while those behind looked to each other to take up the chase. If they didn't decide to work together, it was clear that their chance of winning was going up the road.
