Classics season is underway and Milan-San Remo is the next stop on the calendar as the peloton takes on the longest one-day race of the year on Saturday, March 18.
After the major Classics season started at Opening Weekend and continued at Strade Bianche, Saturday's Milan-San Remo is the first Monument of the season bringing with it a packed start list to match.
2023 champion Matej Mohorič (Bahrain Victorious) will be back to defend his title following his daredevil Poggio descent last year.
Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck), Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), and Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) are among the top attractions on the start list.
Other major names set to take part include Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty), Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo), and Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers).
The sprinters will also be out in force, with the likes of Arnaud De Lie (Lotto-Dstny), Sam Bennett (Bora-Hansgrohe), Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck), and Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) hoping for the first large group finish since 2016.
