The 157km pancake-flat route leaves Voghera and heads north towards Pavia and then follows sections of the historic Milano–Sanremo course to reach Milan. After passing the Chiesa Rossa, riders enter the final circuit of 16.3 km, near the Vigorelli velodrome.

Covered four times, the circuit has very few corners, the last of which comes at 2km from the finish.
