Mark Cavendish won a thrilling sprint to take the 100th edition of Milan San Remo by the narrowest of margins.
Second place Heinrich Haussler surprised everyone by jumping the leading group of 40 riders with under a kilometre to go. He looked to have the victory in the bag, but Cavendish came back and took him at the line.
