More About the Event
The Gran Fondo Milan-Sanremo cicloturista covers the 300km that separate Milan from Sanremo, re-tracing the same roads as the Spring Classicissima. With respect to the actual professional race, the starting point has been changed from that of the professional route in Milan to the east of the city, in Settala, in order to avoid the traffic of the Lombardy capital, and the arrival is in Lungomare Salvo d’Acquisto in Sanremo, whereas the rest of the route is absolutely faithful to that followed by the professionals.
