MILANO SANREMO, THE ROUTE 

The Milano-Sanremo route takes cyclists on a mesmerizing journey from the bustling city of Milan to the picturesque coastal town of Sanremo. The race begins in the heart of Milan, usually near the iconic Cathedral of Milan (Duomo di Milano), providing a spectacular backdrop for the start of this monumental race.

From Milan, the peloton embarks on a southward trajectory, gradually leaving the urban landscape behind and entering the Lombardy region's rolling hills. The first part of the route is characterized by the challenging terrain, including climbs such as the Passo del Turchino and the Capo Mele.
As the cyclists approach the Ligurian coastline, the race takes a more dramatic turn with the inclusion of the famous climbs known as the Cipressa and the Poggio. These ascents, occurring in the final kilometers of the race, often play a decisive role in shaping the outcome. The Cipressa, a 5.6-kilometer climb, is followed by a quick descent before the riders face the final challenge of the Poggio, a 3.7-kilometer climb with an average gradient of 3.7%.

THE DESCENT TO SANREMO

The descent from the Poggio marks the conclusion of the challenging climbs, and it is from here that the race hurtles towards its climax in Sanremo. The technical descent demands exceptional bike-handling skills as riders navigate winding roads and sharp turns at high speeds.
