ABOUT THIS TRIP
Get ready to conquer the “Primavera” with inGamba!
Milan-San Remo, the inaugural Monument of the year, is one of the most exhilarating and prestigious races of the season. With its length, typically just shy of 300 kilometers, winning it demands exceptional endurance and stamina.
Like the other Monuments, Milan-San Remo has garnered numerous nicknames. It’s affectionately known as ‘La Classicissima’ and ‘La Primavera’ due to its springtime slot. Additionally, it’s often referred to as one of the ‘sprinters’ classics’ because of its fastman-friendly finish in San Remo’s Via Roma.
The race was inaugurated in 1907, with Frenchman Lucien Petit-Breton emerging as the inaugural winner. Since then, it has witnessed the triumph of numerous cycling legends. Among them, Eddy Merckx stands out as the most prolific, securing seven victories between 1966 and 1976.
We will have an unforgettable experience with none other than the legendary Adrie Van Der Poel as your guide.
