The 108th edition of Milan-San Remo produced another slightly unexpected result as Michal Kwiatkowski - a 40/1 long-shot at the start of the day - edged out Peter Sagan in one of the closest finishes in years.
As you'd expect the drama of the race was matched by the noise of Twitter, with plenty of pro riders on hand to comment on the race from their sofas.
The leading three riders were pretty close in every sense as they crossed the line
Chicken dinner for Michal Kwiatkowski
While Peter Sagan was gracious in defeat
As you would expect, Team Sky were pretty happy with the result
We hope Geraint Thomas managed to catch his flight in all the excitement
Quick-Step Floors were also happy with their man's third place
Kudos all round from Marcel Kittel
Bram Tankink happy with his 26th place (click translate if your Dutch isn't up to scratch)
The race brought back memories of 2012 for Fabian Cancellara
Just because you don't win the race, doesn't mean you can't celebrate with a pizza and a burrito
