 | Milano - San Remo is the most famous Italian spring classics. This opening race of the new cycling season is, above all, well-known for its long distance (300km), the high average speed, the broad and well-constructed roads, and the short challenging ascents in the last part of the tour.
This Tacx Real Life DVD Milan San Remo - Italy includes the last 85km of the original racing course. The start is situated in the coastal village VARIGOTTI. The course passes broad, well-constructed, and even coastal road along the MEDITERRANEAN. You drive through typically Italian towns and villages. HAving passed the holiday resort ALASSIO, you begin the three gradients Capo Mele, Capo Cervo & Capo Berta. Those easy hills are an ideal "Warming Up" for the CIPRESSA, the longest gradient of this tour.
After the Cipressa, the tour continues again along the coast. This part is notorious because all cyclists fight for the best starting position for the narrow road up to POGGIO - during the real race. Sometime you turn suddenly right and the ascent of the Poggio di San Remo starts. Here, the deciding attacks are driven. In the last year, none of the racing cyclists could be the first of the group - and the race has been decided by an enthralling sprint between many racing cyclists on the VIA ROMA in San Remo.
The tour is ideal for all cyclists because its mainly even and the ascents are not very steep nor long. Go on the streets of Italy |
