La Classicissima, or as it's most commonly known, Milano-Sanremo, is the longest race in the road cycling professional calendar. Taking place in Italy, every year it takes the peloton through a journey of around 300 kilometers which has became in recent cycling the longest race in the peloton, where endurance is frequently a big  decisive factor.

It is a race which is very open. Although it's nicknamed the "sprinters' monument", it is a classic that allows the puncheurs, climbers, rouleurs and classics experts all to perform and take a win aswell. It is characterized by the late climbs into the old towns of Cipressa and Poggio di Sanremo, before a grand finale in the Ligurian city of Sanremo.
