Now that the revised UCI calendar is back underway having kicked off with the 2020 Strade Bianche and the start of the Tour of Poland, live competitive cycling continues this weekend with the delayed Milan-San Remo.
Due to have taken place in March, the race will be the first cycling Monument of 2020 and is set to be the longest Milan-San Remo ever, with a remodelled 299km route to make allowances for Covid-19.
Riders will now tackle an inland route through Lombardia, Piedmont and all the way down to the Ligurian Riviera rather than the traditional coastal roads, due to the coronavirus fears of some local authorities. But with respect to tradition a priority for the race organisers, we can still rely on the Cipressa and Poggio climbs to spice up the finale.
2019 winner Julian Alaphilippe returns to defend his title having out-sprinted Oliver Naesen and Michal Kwiatkowski to take the 110th edition of the race last year. Tough competition is expected from Philippe Gilbert (Lotto-Soudal), who’ll be chasing the historic Grand Slam to become the fourth rider in history to boast all five different Monument wins.
The lineup will also look different, with 27 teams set to start with six riders; a move made by organisers in acknowledgment of the hit that cycling outfits have taken this year. So, all this could make for the most unscripted Milan-San Remo ever.
