Tomorrow the 103rd edition (the first in 1876) finds two protagonists who have been standing still since 6 February. A race for sprinters with Cavendish and Sagan among the favorites. Departure at 11.35 from Magenta, arrival in Rivoli
It will be a renewed Milan-Turin. After nine of the last 10 editions of the race had ended on Colle di Superga, the oldest La Classica (first edition in 1876), now in its 103rd edition, returns to its origins. The 199 km from Magenta to Rivoli are the ideal setting for sprinters. Three days before the Milan-Sanremo the starting field to follow in view of the possible final sprint.
Who after Roglic?

Starting with Mark Cavendish to continue with Peter Sagan. Attention also to Alexander Kristoff, Greg Van Avermaet, Ben Swift, Nacer Bouhanni, Kaden Groves are some of the favorites who will try to write their name in the roll of honor following the Slovenian Roglic.

But tomorrow’s race will also mark the return to the races of Vincenzo Nibali, Michal Kwiatkowski and Alberto Bettiol. For Nibali who is missing from the Vuelta Valenciana on February 6, tomorrow’s race represents the light at the end of the tunnel after Covid and tonsillitis. For Bettiol, after Covid and the after-effects that the virus left him, it is a return to racing after 38 days of absence. Last race on 6 February at the Etoile de Besseges. For the Tuscan, tomorrow will be a “dress rehearsal” in view of the Milan-Sanremo.
