The 2025 edition of Milan-Sanremo is still etched into the memory of many cycling fans. Pogacar tried to ride clear, but came up against a rock-solid duo in Van der Poel and Ganna. On the legendary Via Roma, a three-man sprint ultimately decided the race, with MVDP taking his second victory in La Primavera.
This year, the first Monument of the season once again boasts a mouth-watering field. The three major headliners are all back, and former winner Van Aert returns to Milan-Sanremo after two years away. Jasper Philipsen, the winner in 2024, is also set to start.

In-form Isaac Del Toro will be there as well, travelling to Pavia fresh from overall victory at Tirreno-Adriatico. Riders such as Paul Magnier, Romain Grégoire, Julian Alaphilippe, Matthew Brennan and Tom Pidcock will also hope to surprise the top favourites, what a start list!
In the women’s race, last season’s winner Lorena Wiebes will line up once again for SD Worx-Protime. While Demi Vollering of FDJ-Suez and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot of Visma | Lease a Bike are absent, the field still includes Lotte Kopecky of SD Worx-Protime, Elisa Longo Borghini of UAE Team ADQ and Marianne Vos of Visma | Lease a Bike.

- Can anyone help me understand the thinking behind the two punishments? Are the commissaires saying you get thrown out of the race for a second inadvertent disposal of a bidon (even to the delight of fans) but that as long as you can afford it you can show off your phalangeal cuticles all day long on international TV? Aking for a friend.packfiller7112-03-2026
- It's a bit embarrassing that. Isn't the main sponsor supposed to keep them at 36.5 ?tomjacques03-03-2026
- They were close to cracking a very tired Tadej that wasn't fully focused on the TdF with a team of riders focused solely on cracking Tadej. And if they cracked him, he would have still won. Tadej won't be racing the giro this year. It'll be an even easier win for him.Veganpotter09-02-2026
- Nice!Bea22-01-2026
- Those events are mental rest for him. Fun, without expectations. *Sagan lost his abilities because he gained weight and got lazy. Pogi will likely retire before that has a chance at happening.Veganpotter14-12-2025
- Ah, the consequences of riding for Israel.Veganpotter11-12-2025
- Pidcock could follow everyone but Pogi while finishing 3rd. No second place rider this season😃Veganpotter16-11-2025

- Cracked the code lol. If it was that easy to 'crack the code' jonny Vegas would be charging up the Kwaremont giving Pog a dose of his medicine. Evenepoel can't match pog on a climb and neither can mvdp. Anything with a half difficult climb and Pog smashes the field. Even on flat(ish)parcours like Roubaix it came down to a mistake and crash by pog to definitively crown mvdp. MSR is the only one that Pog probably won't win.kevpt10-10-2025
