Description

The 117th edition of Milan–San Remo serves as a "mechanical necessity" for the peloton to navigate the longest one-day race on the professional calendar (298 km). The strategic narrative centers on the dual dominance of Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates). The primary hurdle for the field is the explosive "Poggio" climb, where the race is historically won or lost. For Pogačar, the objective is to force a selection on the final ascent to drop the sprinters, while Van der Poel looks to defend his title by matching every acceleration before the high-speed descent into the Via Roma.

Tactically, the race is a slow-burn endurance test. Outsiders like Tom Pidcock (Pinarello-Q36.5) and Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) will look for a surprise attack between the Cipressa and the Poggio. For the pure sprinters like Jasper Philipsen and Mads Pedersen, the goal is "survival at all costs" on the final climbs to ensure they are in the mix for a reduced bunch finish. With the race currently in progress, the peloton is traversing the Turchino pass, setting the stage for the dramatic "Capi" coastal climbs.
