This is the hour of the first Monument. Milan-Sanremo is on the program this Saturday with a list of serious candidates at the start to succeed Matej Mohoric.
294 indigestible kilometers for a memorable victory. This is what awaits a lucky winner this Saturday. With a large number of profiles that can be won, the Primavera is undoubtedly the most open classic.
On the starting line, Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates) will be looking to win a third different Monument following finishing in fifth place last year. He will be among the big favorites alongside Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), winner in 2020 and Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck), third in the last edition.
Other big guys will be to watch like Biniam Ghirmay (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty) and other former winners like Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal Quick-Step, 2019) ou Arnaud Demare (Groupama-FDJ, 2016).
The Lotto Dstny team will also have ambitions with Caleb Ewan et Arnaud DeLie while the last two winners, Jasper Stuven (Trek-Segafredo) et Matej Mohoric (Bahrain Victorious) will also be there.
Tom Pidcock (INEOS Grenadiers) et Greg Van Avermaet (AG2R Citroën) unfortunately had to give up.
The race can be followed live from 1:45 p.m. on La Une and on our website.
