Please meet us at our hotel in Sanremo today. If you plan to fly then we offer airport transfers for you, your luggage and your bike from Nice Airport, which can be booked as an extra in the booking process for £100pp (More information here). The journey to Sanremo takes about 1 hour. Our mechanic is available this afternoon to fit rental bikes and to assist you with building your own bike after travel. Bikes can be stored at the hotel. Our evening meal is also at the hotel.

Alternatively, arrive in Milan ahead of your Milan Sanremo experience as a guest of Team Visma | Lease a Bike tomorrow, or if you are staying the night ahead of attending the Start Village in Pavia tomorrow.

Option 1 – Team Visma | Lease a Bike Experience

The day begins with our Team Visma | Lease a Bike host who will meet you to begin your race day experience. Collection point is our hotel in Milan. Your host will be an ex-pro rider who will offer professional insights into the race. The first stop is a visit to the team hotel where one of the Team Directors will share the team’s race strategy with you for the day. After visiting the team hotel, we set off for the start area where you will visit the Team Bus to see how a World Tour Cycling Team prepare for a race day. From there you visit the Start Village for the team presentations and rider sign on. Now it’s time for the race to get underway.

You will be in an official Team Visma | Lease a Bike vehicle with full race accreditation for access to the race course. The vehicle is equipped with a map of the official race route and live TV coverage. During the day you will stop at multiple points on the roadside, including a stop for lunch, as well as having snacks and drinks available throughout the day.

We aim to arrive at the finish in time to see it live but we can’t guarantee this as it depends on how the race plays out on the day. Once the race and podium ceremonies are over the full race day experience with Team Visma | Lease a Bike draws to a close. You can opt to depart, or to add a night in Sanremo or in Nice close to the airport (transport to Nice is included).

Option 2 – Milan Sanremo Hospitality

Sportive Breaks are the official VIP Hospitality Partner for Milan-Sanremo. In 2025 the start was in Pavia and the finish was in Sanremo, with the women starting in Genoa for the inaugural women’s edition. Please note that the start location may change for 2026. Find all available options here Milan-Sanremo Hospitality

Option 3 – Cross the Finish and Podium Experience and Finish Hospitality in Sanremo

After breakfast and preparing the bikes, we will take you on a supported, guided ride that takes in the route of the Milan-Sanremo, including the final 25km of the pro race route. You will ride across the finish-line in Sanremo before the finish of the pros just hours later. After taking photos on the winner’s podium you will have access to Milan-Sanremo Finish Hospitality and an afternoon of watching the pro riders in action.

We will then head back to the hotel for you to rest and get prepared for tomorrow if you would like to take part in the Gran Fondo. Dinner is at the hotel.

You were able to see how the riders of the Men’s cycling elite handled the roads yesterday – today it’s your turn!

The legend of the Classicissima: the Poggio di Sanremo

We’ll assist with packing bikes after the race. Dinner is at the hotel.
