, the team came in thinking they had two options for the victory – 2009 winner Cavendish, and the 2011 season's most prolific winner to date Goss. Sporting director Valerio Piva stated that if the race came down to a large field sprint, as it often does, the team's focus would be Cavendish. For the second year in a row, Cavendish had had a slow start to his season, but stated that he felt he was on good form heading into Milan – San Remo. The race turned out to be atypical of how Milan – San Remo usually plays out. A crash occurred 90 km (55.9 mi) from the finish of the 298 km (185.2 mi) day on Le Manie, one of several small climbs in the profile. This allowed some 45 riders who had been ahead of world champion Thor Hushovd

Goss was the only HTC-Highroad rider to make the split, but his teammates, including Cavendish, who had been caught behind obligingly did nothing to help pull the second group up to the first. Goss effectively stayed in the slipstream of riders like Vincenzo Nibali

did so, but they effectively performed a leadout for Goss, who came around them at the very end of the race for the victory. Goss was the first Australian rider ever to win the race. Afterward, Cavendish stated that he had been feeling ill on the day the race was run, and that even if he had not been caught behind the crash on Le Manie, he would not have had the form to put in a successful sprint. He said he was happy for his teammate's winning effort. In April, as the spring season was reaching its height, Cavendish took his third career win at the Scheldeprijs. The Manxman avoided a crash on the final finishing straight, one that doomed the chances for his chief rival Tyler Farrar

Goss won the field sprint finish to the first stage, finishing just ahead of Greipel in second. He stated after the stage that the plan was for him to lead Cavendish out and win if able, or for Cavendish to come around him and open up a time gap if he were able. Cavendish was 62nd on the day. Numerous crashes in stage 2 thinned the number of riders present to try for the stage win. Goss and Cavendish both fell, though they were credited with the same finishing time as the leading group since the crashes took place within 3 km (1.9 mi) of the finish line. Cavendish required several stitches after the stage. Time bonuses involving Goss, stage 2 winner Ben Swift

It was the first stage race win of Renshaw's career, and he explained after the race that the squad had hoped to ride for Cavendish in the event, but that his second major crash in as many events made them change their plans.
