It’s Milano-Torino 2026 day. The oldest race in the world celebrates its 150th anniversary this year, doing so with the modern version that has thrilled fans the most, the one that finishes on the climb to Superga. From Rho to the hill above Turin, there are 174 kilometres to be fully enjoyed, with several riders aiming to write their names into the history of this legendary race.
The route is largely flat in the first half, becoming more rolling with several notable climbs in the second.
The race starts in Rho and crosses the upper Po Valley through the rice fields, passing through Magenta, Novara and Vercelli before heading towards the Po River across completely flat terrain.
After San Mauro Torinese, the course follows the Po along Corso Casale before tackling the climb to the Basilica of Superga for the first time (with a deviation 600 metres before the finish), then descending towards Rivodora on a demanding downhill that leads back to San Mauro, before climbing up again to the finish.
With its 4.9 km at 9.1%, the double ascent of Superga is once again set to make a decisive selection
Red Bull Bora hansgrohe look formidable with a duo that promises fireworks: Primož Roglič, winner in 2021, and Giulio Pellizzari. Challenging them are Tom Pidcock (Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team), making his debut in the race, and Tobias Halland Johannessen (Uno X Mobility), but keep an eye as well on the increasingly impressive Jan Christen (UAE Team Emirates XRG).
