Milan-Sanremo, or La Classicissima as it is know in Italy, is the longest one-day race on the professional cycling calendar at 291km and the first of the five monuments of cycling.
Departing from Milan in the north of Italy, the race travels south toward the Ligurian coast, heading over the first climb of the Turchino Pass before heading along the coastal roads toward Sanremo.
While there is not too much climbing along the nearly 300km route, key climbs such as the famous Cipressa and Poggio di San Remo in the closing stages can turn the race on its head.
Despite the long distance, the race has been favourable for sprinters throughout its history with famous wins from Mark Cavendish, Erik Zabel and Mario Cipollini.
It was back-to-back Aussie wins in 2011 and 2012 with Matthew Goss and SBS Sport's very own Simon Gerrans tasting victory on the Via Roma.
