Milan Sanremo
powered by Team Visma | Lease a Bike
Milan Sanremo is the longest professional bike race in the world covering nearly 300km, starting near Milan and finishing in the picturesque seaside town of Sanremo. Whilst this race is famous for its length, the action comes within the last 30km with 2 climbs; the Cipressa and the Poggio. Milan Sanremo is a keen test for who has the most energy reserves left and who has the most nerve for descending in order to take the win. Last year the man to come out on top at Milan Sanremo was Mathieu van der Poel ahead of Filippo Ganna and Tadej Pogacar. Because of its difficulty and tradition Milan Sanremo has earned its place as one of the 5 cycling monuments, alongside; Tour of Flanders, Roubaix, Liege-Bastogne-Liege and Il Lombardia.
Enjoy this monument and the longest race in the calendar as a guest of one of the best pro cycling teams in the world.
