If there’s one thing Milan-San Remo has in its favour, it’s anticipation – not only because it’s the season’s first Monument (the big five one-day races on the men’s calendar).
It takes place on Saturday 21 March 2026, with both the men's and women's races ending in San Remo.
Being first commands a big audience, as well as a peloton fresh and chomping at the bit to get going.
Anticipation is also reflected at Milan-San Remo in the way the race unfolds. Nudging 300km (this year’s course is 298km), it’s the longest race on the calendar, and, for 90% of it, you’d be forgiven for thinking not much of note is happening.
The peloton departs on flat roads – no longer from Milan but from Pavia, a town 35km south – and heads towards the Mediterranean coast. To get there, it scales the Turchino Pass, before heading west, largely along coastal roads, for the second half.
Mathieu van der Poel took the win last year, pipping Filippo Ganna and Tadej Pogačar to the line in a three-way sprint.
The San Remo Women's race is 156km this year, starting in Genova and finishing in San Remo. Last year was the first time the race had been held in 20 years, and it was Lorena Wiebes who took the win.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is software that enables you to change your device's IP address, making it appear as though you're accessing the internet from another country.
As long as you adhere to your broadcaster's terms and conditions, a VPN enables you to unblock your usual streaming services, no matter your location. Additionally, a VPN can improve playback speeds and significantly enhance your overall internet security.
