  • The last 250 metres of Milano-Sanremo are dead straight along the famous Via Roma in the centre of San Remo, but are slightly uphill, therefore favouring power sprinters like Tom Boonen (if he makes it over the Cipressa/Poggio) or Oscar Freire, or 'jumpy' sprinters like Paolo Bettini or Allan Davis. It's an overcast day in San Remo, but expect the afterburners to be working overtime down the Via Roma!
