After a two-decade-long absence from the cycling calendar, the women's edition of Milan-San Remo finally returned to the roads of the Italian Riviera as the peloton took on a 156km route from the start in Genoa along the Ligurian coast to the finish in San Remo.
Lorena Wiebes took the victory in the sprint on the Via Roma ahead of Marianne Vos, after a late flyer from Elisa Longo Borghini in the closing kilometres was brought back by her teammate Lotte Kopecky within sight of the finish line.
It is the consistent unpredictability of Milan-San Remo combined with the incredible scenery as the race traverses its way along the coastline that makes it one of the most spectacular races to watch.
With this in mind, we've compiled some of the best images from Saturday's race, putting them all together in our definitive Milan-San Remo Women 2025 gallery.
