The legendary 2026 Milano-Sanremo classic opens the season of Monument cycling races with a refreshed route. This year, the peloton starts in Pavia and heads north toward Milan before returning to the traditional course via Certosa. Riders face an endurance test of nearly three hundred kilometers. The fate of the prestigious trophy will be decided on the critical Cipressa and Poggio climbs. The final descent to the Ligurian coast requires mastery and nerves of steel. The winner will be determined in a rapid sprint on the famous Via Roma.
