Spring is coming, and with it, the first Monument of the season : Milan-San Remo ! Nicknamed “La Primavera,” this legendary race is a must-watch for cycling fans. Long, uncertain, and often spectacular, it can be won by sprinters, punchers, or even daring attackers. Get ready, because Milan-San Remo 2025 is set to be an unforgettable race!

A Monument Like No Other

Milan-San Remo is nearly 300 kilometers long, making it the longest one-day race on the calendar. However, don’t expect high-intensity action from the start. For about 250 kilometers, the peloton rides at a controlled pace, teams manage early breakaways, and riders conserve energy. But everything changes once the race reaches the Ligurian coast.

The Capi, a series of short climbs, start to shake up the race. Then comes the Cipressa, where the first serious attacks may happen. But the real key is the Poggio di San Remo, the final climb of the day. Located just 6 kilometers from the finish, it is often the decisive moment of the race. A fast, technical descent then leads to the iconic Via Roma in San Remo, setting up a thrilling finale.
