Milan - San Remo, AKA la Primavera, is the Italian spring classic. The season opener is known most of all for the grueling distance (300 km/185 miles), the high speeds that are reached, the wide and smooth roads and the short climbs that make up the final bit of the course. The top of the Cipressa is the highest point of the race; after cresting the Poggio you’ll finish on the Via Roma in San Remo.
