The first Monument race of the season is today, so follow our guide to watch a Milan-San Remo live stream and catch all the UCI WorldTour cycling this Saturday.
This Saturday marks the 111st edition of the Milan-San Remo cycling race, as the best UCI WorldTour riders all vie for glory in the longest of cycling’s five historic Monument races. Usually known as the La Classicissima di Primavera because it’s held in Spring, the global Covid-19 sporting shutdown means it’s now taking place in Italy’s sweltering August heat – temperatures around Milan being expected to comfortably clear 33°C, or at least 90°F. Who will triumph under such sweltering conditions? Follow our guide to get a Milan-San Remo live stream and watch today’s WorldTour 2020 cycling race online wherever you are. Measuring 299km in total, it’s the longest one-day race in road cycling. This 2020 Milan-San Remo route will differ from previous years, however, taking in more inland scenery after organisers made changes deemed necessary due to the coronavirus. In fact, only the last 40km of the regular route remain – the iconic closing 40km stretch along the Via Roma.. In terms of favourites, all eyes are on Deceuninck-QuickStep rider Julian Alaphilippe, as the Frenchman aims to defend his 2019 Milan-San Remo victory – and amend for his Strade Bianche misfortunes, which saw his repeat challenge there derailed by six tyre punctures.
