Milan - San Remo 2026: Route
Read more »
Milan–San Remo takes place on Saturday. It is the first Monument of the season, aptly nicknamed La Primavera or “The Spring”. The race was first held in 1907, and this year marks the 117th edition. The distance is 298 kilometres, with the famed Cipressa–Poggio double in the finale preceding the high-speed plunge towards Via Roma in San Remo.
Two-time winner Mathieu van der Poel faces strong competition from last year's podium finishers Tadej Pogacar and Filippo Ganna, while Tom Pidcock and former winners Matej Mohoric, Wout van Aert, Jasper Stuyven, John Degenkolb, and Julian Alaphilippe are also set to line up. Prego, the entry list for Milan-San Remo.
For years, Tadej Pogacar has been on a mission: to win Milan–San Remo. While he seems to win almost everything he enters, that particular prize has so far eluded him, mostly because Mathieu van der Poel stood in his way. Will the world champion finally succeed this year? And how will he go about it?

Marianne Vos, Lotte Kopecky, Noemi Rüegg, Kim Le Court Pienaar, Kasia Niewiadoma and defending champion Lorena Wiebes are all set to line up for the 2nd edition of Milano-San Remo Donne. Prego, the start list for the women's La Primavera.
