RCS Sport announce shortened route for Milano-Sanremo with start moved to Pavia

Known for being the longest one-day race on the WorldTour calendar, this year’s edition of Milano-Sanremo will have a slightly shorter route than previous editions, as the race organiser RCS Sport has announced that this year’s race will start outside of Milan in the town of Pavia.
The 2024 edition of Milano-Sanremo will be 288km in length, which is six kilometres shorter than last year’s race. The start of the race has also been moved from Abbiategrasso to the town of Pavia, which is around 40km outside Milan’s city centre and it will be the first time that the race has started there.
However, these are minor changes to a race that is very rarely decided outside of the final 30km, with last year’s edition being won by Mathieu van der Poel with an attack over the top of the Poggio before a daredevil descent to the finish on the Via Roma.
Speaking about this year’s edition of Milano-Sanremo, race director Mauro Vegni said “from today the countdown to 16th March begins and we’re sure that we’ll once again experience a glorious day like last year, which saw four champions, all with different characteristics, compete for success, demonstrating that the Milano-Sanremo is still one of the most coveted races of the year”.

- Oh, so now you know Pog better than he knows himself? Saying that when at the same time you can see an article quoting Pog saying “sometimes I don’t know why I attack” and not ever analysing emotions as men tend to is really rather naive and reductive. Hardly worth wasting our planet’s energy and ressources for. How about elevating the discussion to think over things a bit deeper?Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- They couldn’t convict him criminally because he paid up to escape it (that weird American possibility that ensures not all are equal before the law). He was convicted civilly but technically for committing crime. I on the other hand live in a country where unexplained damage to a baby in your care in theory leads to minimum 5 years of prison, if you admit an accident it’s more lenient but telling the truth that you don’t know how a bump on the skull happened exposes you to the as much risk as some who murder and rape. The developed world doesn’t deserve that designationMistermaumau20-11-2024
- Doesn’t deserve criticism considering all he won with all the crashes plus how close he got to a TdF (Pog had luck). If Pog and Jonas battle and wipe each other out we have Remco and Primoz to put on a show.Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- Agreed. Until he can stay upright on his bike, he’s at best an incomplete for a grade. That doesn’t mean that on his best form he can’t win it all. We just haven’t seen it.mij20-11-2024
