The route for the a hundred and fifth version of Milano-Torino – the oldest of the Spring Classics – is ready to cater to the sprinters with a flat finale in Salassa, a comune to the north of Turin, after an undulating 177km journey from Rho.
After ending on the Colle di Superga in 2021 and traversing it earlier than a flatter end in 2022, the 2024 version is much like final yr when the race completed in Orbassano to the south of Flip.
The primary 80 kilometres of the race are nearly completely flat because the route heads by way of the Po Valley – an agricultural area which, mixed with the flatlands of Veneto and Friuli, make the biggest plain in Southern Europe.
The roads turn out to be extra undulating when the race nears Canavese with the primary climbs in Cossano Canavese and San Martino Canavese.
Riders will go by way of the end after 133km earlier than heading out on a 44km loop that takes the peloton over two 4km-long climbs. The primary, between Rivara and Prascorsano, is the steepest with gradients of round 9%. The following climb between Cuorgnè and Colleretto Castelnuovo is much less steep and crests with 18km to go earlier than a virtually flat end in Salassa.
Paolo Bellino, CEO & Managing Director at RCS Sport, mentioned, “In the previous couple of years we now have gone again to our origins, just some days after Milano-Sanremo, with a route that enhances the traits of the quick males who should understand how to withstand the hills of Canavese to have the ability to compete within the dash.”
