Ciao, buongiorno e benvenuto... to live coverage of the first monument of the season - the 110th edition of Milano-Sanremo.

Here's the top 10 from that thrilling finale.

Alaphilippe was so confident and comfortable of the win that he sat up before the line to start his celebrations. He really is the man to beat at the moment - what a performance.

Confirmation that Julian Alaphilippe took the win ahead of Oliver Naesen and Michal Kwiatkowski, with Peter Sagan edged out for fourth place.

And what scenes as QuickStep riders Viviani, Lampaert, Gilbert and Stybar all cross the line together in a line with their arms raised to celebrate Alaphilippe's win.

The Frenchman made that look so easy as he nonchalantly roared to his first Monument victory. He's in tears after his seventh - and biggest - win of the season. And QuickStep's run keeps on going.

Victory for Julian Alaphilippe of Deceuninck-QuickStep!

Nibali is back! Kwiatkowski now opens it up...

We have about 10 riders out ahead of the pack now. It's Mohoric and Alaphilippe and Sagan on the front under the flamme rouge.

Van Aert leads the chase on Trentin now.

Trentin has a pop!

Oliver Naesen ups the tempo. Daniel Oss, Matej Mohoric, Michael Matthews and Simon Clarke are all there, too. But the pack is also closing in!

Dumoulin has now made contact with Sagan, Trentin, Kwiatkowski, Alaphilippe, Valverde, Naesen and Van Aert. A few more are about to join them. One of them was Degenkolb, but he's just had a mechanical and that's his race over...

We're hearing it's Wout van Aert!

Still no idea who the Jumbo-Visma rider is in this leading group of six.

Tom Dumoulin is trying to bridge over with another five riders chasing behind ahead of the front of the 'pack'.

Over the top they go and the gap is small - but it's all blown apart behind. It's Naesen from Ag2R. But there's a lot of looking behind to check the gap.

Sagan bridges over and we now have a group of seven riders. Sagan, Kwiatkowski, Alaphilippe, Valverde, Trentin and a rider from Ag2R and Jumbo-Visma.

Now Alaphilippe attacks! The Frenchman zips past Bettiol. Kwiatkowski and Sagan are in pursuit. Amazing stuff.

Viviani is sliding away... and there's an attack near the summit by Bettiol of EF Education First and a Direct Energie rider, who is promptly dropped.

So strong, are QuickStep. Stybar is giving it his all. Groenewegen, we hear, is still just holding on.
