Got some hot takes ready for you if you’re not calling Matthew Vanderpool and T pachar the stars of the show you might want to have your pulse checked but before we get into those two and all the other favorites I want to break down the course and yes the weather forecast

For this Saturday the city of Milan and race organizer RCS sport have not gotten along well in recent years we’ve seen that in the jro Italia and last year Well it became evident in Milano s Remo the country’s iconic race did not kick off from Milan but in instead in 2023

From Abate Grasso this year again no Milan the race embarks from pava situated South about 36 km from the fashion capital of Milan interestingly in 2023 the pelaton rolled through pavilla around the 30 km Mark yet this shift doesn’t shorten the race substantially the cor spans 288 km only

A slight trim from last year’s 294 km it does however make me hope and wonder if we’ll ever get back to Milan for the start of this great race the overall course remains largely unchanged adhering to the traditional blueprint Riders climb the paso del Torino leaving behind the po valley and head towards

The coastline this is where the rac’s stress level radically shifts upward leaving the flats for True Insanity ahead driving your car on Italian roads is challenging enough let alone racing a bike in a group of 100 plus through the small villages around the road of furniture all while on tight twisty

Roads the seaside viia ss1 takes the Riders West leading to the Tre Capi three climbs in quick succession the Capal Mele Capal chervo and Capo Berta these are around 50 to 40 km to race and now you should really be lock into your TV or your computer screen and be

Just before the summit and it’s that straight entering the town of pojo the narrow windy descent afterwards riders with 250 km already in their legs that provide so much drama in Milano San Remo and indeed in cycling The Descent leaves 2.2 km to the Finish Line in San Remo

Space for final act in this play long straight stretches a crucial left turn at around about 850 M before the finish the final curve onto the vioma the Race’s Grand Finale lies just 750 m from the end for Saturday the weather in pava is expected to start off with mostly

Cloudy temperatures around 11° C 52 fhe in the morning the likelihood of rain increases throughout the day making for potentially damp conditions as the race progresses along the coast in the afternoon Riders will face winds from the southwest with speeds ranging from 15 to 35 km an hour approximately 9 to

25 mph in San Remo the afternoon temperatures are expected to be around 12 to 13° C or 54 to 55° F with light rain possible although it appears after some harsh race conditions over the last weeks the weather Gods will mostly be kind to the first Monument of 2024 the
