There was no repeat victory for Manxman Mark Cavendish in the Milan-San Remo race.
Cavendish, short of form following off-season dental problems, produced his most competitive ride for a while but was never in contention as he failed to defend the title he won 12 months ago.
Spaniard Oscar Freire timed his finish to perfection to capture his third career victory in the event.
