The exhausting seven-hour race is one of cycling's five prestigious ultra-long one-day races known as monuments.There will be 27 teams of six riders, who will parade through 10km of Milan streets even before the start.
"The riders have just a few races in their legs and the 300km is already a challenge, but in this heat too it will be tough," Valerio Piva said of the race that starts five months after its original scheduled date due to the coronavirus pandemic.In this compacted and rejigged season Wout Van Aert won the first major one-day race, the Strade Bianchi, last weekend and the giant Belgian Jumbo-Visma rider drew wide praise with the convincing manner of that victory.
Should the race come down to a mass sprint Australia's wily tactician Caleb Ewan should be favourite. "I'm not in the same form or same state of mind as last year," said Alaphilippe, who however remains a major threat.
