Category: 1.UWT
First Edition: 1907
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.

- 18 broken bones. 78 crashes, among 30 rider per year is a lot. so for a rider over 15 seasons, they will break their bones 7-8 times and crash 38 times.abstractengineer04-11-2026
- i dont think he is ready ot win against the top 2 or the 2nd rung of evenepoel, del toro , Almeida. In the third week in the TDF he was very very defensive, no attacks. i think he was exhausted. right now he needs time not the brutal Giro or the intense TDF.abstractengineer04-11-2026

- his Roubaix win was amazing. not to take anything away from him - arguably one of MVDP's wins was at the expense of a WVA flat - but so many things need to line up to get one of these. He had a perfect race with fewer bike issues on an attritional course. And crazy strong as usual. Glad he got this done.mij04-11-2026

- A mindset that reminds me of Tim Declerq. I loved watching that guy just pound away the kilometers, hours at the front, holding an entire breakaway in check on his own. Bjerg seems like a similar guy. Curling, the team sport.RidesHills04-11-2026
