Milan–San Remo

Milan–San Remo, the longest one-day race in professional cycling at 298km, is known as La Classicissima for its enduring sprint finish. The race's decisive point is the Poggio climb—3.7km at 3.7% gradient—where attacks often fail, with only 15 of the last 20 editions seeing solo winners. This marathon sprint showcases Italian route design, from Milan's foggy start to the Ligurian coast, challenging sprinters and puncheurs alike with 7 categorized climbs.
