The race: Here's the report from third-place Michael Matthews' Team Sunweb.

After a long awaited break the peloton descended on Milano for the start of the first Monument of the year: Milano-Sanremo. Featuring a change in route with more climbing in the middle of the day and a whopping 305 kilometres to cover, it was set to be a long and hot day in the saddle.

A flurry of attacks from the gun saw a few failed breakaway attempts before a group of seven was able to get clear within the opening ten kilometres. From there the riders settled into a smooth rhythm as the kilometres ticked by. Yet, the pace increased once again and the breakaway were ultimately caught as the race hit the coastline.

Heading towards the Cipressa there was a lot of action at the front of the race, with numerous attacks. Each time the escapees got a small gap before being brought back, with the peloton together as they hit the famous Poggio climb. A steady pace was set on the lower slopes before in Milano-Sanremo tradition, the final kilometre was taken at full speed, with Van Aert and Alaphilippe getting a gap over the bunch. Michael Matthews tried to follow on the inside but was forced against the wall, injuring his hand and shoulder in the process. Nevertheless, the Aussie dug in and continued to follow the wheels over the top of the climb, staying near the front of the chasing group.

Once off of the descent, Tiesj Benoot buried himself at the head of the peloton in an attempt to close the gap to the leaders, aiming to launch Matthews for the sprint but unfortunately the gap was just too big. Despite struggling to hold his handlebars due to his injury, Matthews produced a monumentally impressive kick which saw him close in on the leaders in the finale, winning the bunch sprint for a great third place on the line.

Speaking after the stage Matthews explained what happened in the finale: “Other guys were just in front of me attacking and I also wanted to go and follow them. The door then closed in front of me against the wall, and I scraped my shoulder and hand against the wall. From that point I couldn’t actually hold my handlebar properly with my hand, but I knew the team did such a great job today so I didn’t want to give up. Obviously I wanted to win and I think I had the legs to do it but this is racing; sometimes you win sometimes you lose. In the sprint at the end it was all or nothing to see what I could get out of the race after the crash – I think being on the podium is nice.”

Team Sunweb coach Marc Reef added: “It was a really long and tough day because of the heat but also the parcours; it was always up and down. When we arrived on the coast the bunch had already suffered a lot. We lost Jasha because of the work that he had done earlier. Then Cees did a really good job towards the Cipressa where all of the guys were in a good position on the climb. We tried to then position ourselves well going onto the Poggio. Nikias went in a good way with Michael but Tiesj just missed it and he needed to move up on the Poggio. Tiesj could make up some spots but not enough and they both couldn’t follow Alaphilippe when he attacked. After the descent the gap was there and we tried to close it with Tiesj but didn’t succeed and Michael sprinted for a podium place. In the end I think we can be really happy with today, after the team did a really good job and with Michael’s third place.”

March 6, race organizer RCS Sport posted this notice:

06 March 2020
MILANO-SANREMO POSTPONED FROM ITS ORIGINAL DATE

Milano-San Remo

Following the confirmation by the relevant authorities that they are unable to grant appropriate authorisations, RCS Sport announces that the cycling race Milano-Sanremo, scheduled for 21 March is cancelled from its original date.

Furthermore, as the appropriate authorities have verified that suitable conditions do not exist for them to be unable to guarantee the provisions of the DPCM (Decreto del Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri della Repubblica Italiana – Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers of the Italian Republic) on 4 March 2020, and to guarantee the safeguarding of public health and the safety of all the people involved, RCS Sport has made the decision to cancel Tirreno-Adriatico, scheduled for 11-17 March, and Il Giro di Sicilia, scheduled for 1-4 April.

RCS Sport will request the UCI, via the Italian Cycling Federation, to allocate new dates on the international cycling calendar for the three races, as has already been requested for Strade Bianche and Strade Bianche Women Elite.


Milan-San Remo re-routed because mayors of coastal towns won't allow the race in their cities

What follows is the race organizer's latest post, explaining the new route. But unspoken in the release is the fact the the cities along the Ligurian coast won't close the main coastal road to traffic at the height of the tourist season.

So here's the organizer's update and the new map and profile:

Milan-Sanremo by Vittoria changes its path. Saturday 8 August the protagonists of the Classicissima will face an unprecedented track that will move from Milan, Km 0 is set on the Nuova Vigevanese in the municipality of Trezzano sul Naviglio, to continue towards Lomellina, Alessandria, Monferrato and the Langhe before tackling the climb of Colle Nava 70 kilometers from the finish line in Sanremo. In Imperia we return to the classic route to face the Cipressa from San Lorenzo al Mare and shortly after the Poggio di Sanremo.

ROUTE DESCRIPTION
The Milan-Sanremo by Vittoria after 110 years changes route and meets the sea only in Imperia after crossing the Po Valley and the Apennines further west than usual. After leaving from Milan, cross the Lomellina on flat, wide and straight roads. After Alessandria, the race crosses the Monferrato and then passes through the Langhe and faces the first long asperity of the day, the ascent of Niella Belbo. The slopes are gentle, but they are present, especially in the initial part steep sections and the climb is almost 20 km long (average 3%). After Ceva begins the long and easy ascent to Colle di Nava (3.9 km at 3% in the final). Follows the fast dive on Pieve di Teco followed by the slight slope to go down to Imperia. Ascent and descent take place on wide roads. The crossing of Langhe and Monferrato has narrow sections. In Imperia we return to the classic route to face the Cipressa (faced for the first time in 1982) from San Lorenzo al Mare and shortly after the Poggio di Sanremo (tackled for the first time in 1961).

CYPRESS AND POGGIO
La Cipressa (5.6 km at 4.1%) introduces the race in the very fast and demanding descent that takes you back to the ss.1 Aurelia. At 9 km from the finish, the ascent of Poggio di Sanremo begins (3.7 km less than 4% on average with peaks of 8% in the stretch preceding the descent). The climb has a slightly narrow track and 4 hairpin bends in the first 2 km. The descent is very demanding, restricted in some passages, and with a succession of hairpin bends and curves and counter-curves up to the entrance to the Aurelia state road. The last part of the descent takes place in the town of Sanremo. To be pointed out at 750 m from the finish the last curve that leads to the final straight line of via Roma.
