American Reijnen Finishes Fulcrum at Milan-San Remo

Kiel Reijnen of Team Type 1-Sanofi finished as the Point d’Appui of this year’s Milan-San Remo Classic. He finished just 3:27 behind the winner, Austrian Simon Gerrans of the Greenedge Cycling Team, who won the race with a time of 6:59.24.

Hear an interview with Reijnen after the race at 303 Cycling. UPDATE: Reijnen finished third at the U.S.A. Nationals in May.

The Lanterne Rouge was Italian Daniele Righi, riding for Colnago-CSF Inox; +20:18

Most years, an even number of riders compete in the Milan-San Remo Classic, and an even number of riders finish the race, meaning that a point d’appui cannot be awarded. Occasionally, though, an odd number of riders have either competed or finished, leading to the following fulcrum list:

  • 2012 — Kiel Reijnen (USA), Team Type 1-Sanofi
  • 2010 — Manuele Mori (Ita) Lampre-Farnese Vini
  • 2005 — Jan Boven (Ned) Rabobank
  • 2001 — Paolo Fornaciari (Ita) Mapei-Quick Step
  • 2000 — Denis Zanette (Ita)
  • 1997 — Nicola Minali (Ita)
  • 1996 — Orlando Rodrigues (Por)
  • 1991 — Adriano Baffi (Ita)
  • 1988 — Jesus Rodriguez-Magro (Esp)
  • 1985 — Ludo Peeters (Bel)
