Good morning and welcome to live coverage of the 107th edition of Milan-San Remo. It's the first monument of the season - a largely flat 291km schlep from Milan along the Ligurian coast which ends with the traditional lumpy finale ahead of a fast finish in San Remo.

Confirmation of the top ten...

- -

Damare's winning time is 6hrs 54.45 mins. He is the first Frenchman since Laurent Jalabert in 1995 to win Milan-San Remo.

0km

Spare a thought for the in-form Gaviria, riding his debut classic. He was right there in the mix but crashed in the final kilometre...

0km

Bouhanni is livid there - it looked like he had a problem with his gears and so he effectively led out his rival before slamming his bars in frustration.

0km

Victory for Demare! Ben Swift takes second place in San Remo for the second time in his career in an unbelievably unpredictable finish... Roelandts third, Bouhanni fourth, Van Avermaert fifth and Kristoff sixth.

0km

The Frenchman can't believe it! He has his hand over his mouth in disbelief! Arnaud Demare wins Milan-San Remo!

0km

WOW! Arnaud Demare bounds clear and takes the win ahead of Ben Swift and Jurgen Roelandts!

0.5km

But it's coming back together... and CRASH! Gaviria is down!

1km

Now Boasson Hagen and Van Avermart lead clear... Gaviria is there too! And Sagan behind...

1.5km

Cancellara and Trentin mop up Kwiatkowski - but it groups back together.

2km

Trentin leads the chase, but it comes back together before Cancellara jumps clear!

2.5km

Boasson Hagen is there too, but Kwiatkowski still has 5 seconds.

4km

Nibali still leads the chase with an Etixx rider in his wheel.

5km

Sagan and Cancellara are right there with Nibali, with the lone leader Kwiatkowski a few seconds up the road.

5.5km

Nibali leads the chasing pack overr the summit - he wants to be well placed for the all-important descent.

6km

Kwiatkowski has a few seconds over the pack as he crests the summit of the Cipressa.

6.5km

Finally some attacks: Tony Gallopin soars clear as Fedi is caught. But the Frenchman can't make a gap, leading to a dig from Michal Kwiatkowski of Team Sky.

7km

Looks like this one will come down to a mass bunch sprint because Fedi is failing to make much headway, while the pack still rides as one - despite numerous riders gettign popped off the back.

8km

An attack comes in from a Southest rider - and it's Filippo Pozzato according to the graphic... but that's not right! It's Andrea Fedi.

8.5km

The pace has slowed on the Poggio - it seems very tactical out there as BMC and Katusha control things, setting a tempo which isn't too fast, causing the pack to bunch up once again.
