1956 Milano - San Remo

47th edition: Monday, March 19, 1956

Podium History of Milano-San Remo | 1957 edition | 1955 edition |

281 km. 203 starters, 110 classified finishers

During the 1950s northern European riders were allowed to race for Italian sponsors when they raced in Italy. I have listed those sponsors (such as Bianchi instead of Helyett for Jacques Anquetil), but I cannot be positive that they rode any particular race for their Italian teams.
