Milan–San Remo cycling race takes place today
Today marks the 117th edition of the Milan–San Remo, the legendary road cycling race known as "La Classicissima."
As the first of cycling's five prestigious "Monuments," this event is the longest one-day professional race in Europe, covering nearly 298 kilometers.
Starting in Pavia and finishing on the iconic Via Roma in San Remo, the race is a grueling test of both endurance and strategy.
The tension peaks during the final 40 kilometers, especially on the famous climbs of the Cipressa and the Poggio di San Remo.
With roots dating back to 1907, Milan–San Remo remains a cornerstone of Italian sports culture, proving that even after nearly 300 kilometers, victory is often decided by mere seconds on a technical final descent.
