On the 19th of March we've got Milano-Torino, a classic that has been moved into early in the season recently and returns to it's origins as a climbers' race. We preview the race ahead.
The first 150 kilometers of the race are as simple as it goes. There is not a single climb or major feature to note, it's pan-flat until the riders enter Torino and then tackle the final circuit - two ascents of the Superga ascent.
The Italian climb is worthy of a monument almost, everytime there is a race there, there is spectacle. It is 4.8 kilometers at 9.2%, a steep and consistent climb. The fact that the riders enter it very fresh means we usually see crazy power numbers but also the climb usually makes a lot of differences between even the best.

- One thing Jonas Vingegaard has in common with Hinault is that they are moaners, although I couldn't see Jonas giving a demonstrator a right hander!Suipedali14-03-2025
- They are surprisingly rare on the pro circuit, around our area, one in four races finishes of with a really steep 500m climb at the end.Mistermaumau14-03-2025
