La Classicissima — the longest one-day race. The early Ligurian climbs (Turchino, Capo Mele, Capo Cervo, Capo Berta) soften the legs before the Cipressa and decisive Poggio. Most editions end in a sprint but the fastest descenders can solo off the Poggio.

—Longest classic in the world
—Cipressa climb (5.6km, 4.1%)
—Poggio di San Remo (3.7km, 3.7%)
—Fast descent to flat sprint or breakaway finish
