Results Milano-Torino 2026 | Powerful Tom Pidcock takes victory ahead of Johannessen and Roglic with perfectly timed late move

Tom Pidcock surged clear inside the final kilometre to win Milano-Torino 2026, timing his move to perfection on the steep slopes of Superga after a relentlessly aggressive finale.

The Brit attacked with around 600 metres remaining from a reduced lead group, immediately opening a gap that none of his rivals could close. Tobias Halland Johannessen proved the strongest in pursuit to take second place, while Primoz Roglic had to settle for third after driving much of the earlier selection.

The race had been shaped long before the final move, with a six-rider breakaway controlling the early kilometres before being gradually reeled in by a combination of Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team, Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe and UAE Team Emirates - XRG.

As the peloton approached the first ascent of Superga, the race intensified rapidly. Roglic accelerated on the steepest ramps, forcing an immediate selection and reducing the field to a small group of contenders.

Even before the final climb, the race was already breaking apart. Pidcock and Cian Uijtdebroeks both launched aggressive moves during the transition phase, trying to avoid a controlled finish.

The aggression continued as Adrien Boichis attacked to go clear, briefly giving Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe a tactical advantage with Roglic sitting behind in the chase. Behind him, the race remained unsettled. Counterattacks continued to fly, with Pidcock and Uijtdebroeks again among the most active as they attempted to bridge across.

Boichis was eventually caught just before the final ascent, but the damage had already been done. The race had been reduced to a small group of favourites under constant pressure.

On the final climb, the repeated changes of pace gradually thinned the front group. Roglic continued to test the others with further accelerations, while Movistar briefly took control through support riders to stabilise the pace for Uijtdebroeks.

Inside the final two kilometres, the race split again into a select group including Pidcock, Roglic, Johannessen and Uijtdebroeks, with others such as Giulio Pellizzari losing contact under the sustained pressure.

With the group reduced and the pace already high, the decisive move came late. Roglic lifted the tempo inside the final kilometre, and Uijtdebroeks responded with another attack, but neither move created a gap.

Instead, it was Pidcock who chose his moment best. Launching his effort with around 600 metres to go, he quickly opened daylight on the steep gradient and never looked back.

Johannessen was able to limit his losses to take second, while Roglic, after shaping much of the race, could not respond to the final acceleration and finished third.
