Milano-Torino: the oldest Classic returns to Superga

18/02/2025

The 106th edition of Milano-Torino presented by Crédit Agricole was officially unveiled today at the Rho Municipality. The world’s oldest Classic, first held in 1876, will start for the third consecutive year on 19 March from Rho, covering 174 km before finishing at Superga. The final ramps, with their relentless and steep gradients, have created iconic moments in cycling history. From Contador to Roglič, Valverde to Nibali, those who triumph at Superga cement their names among the legends. The list of participating teams has also been revealed.

The route of Milano-Torino presented by Crédit Agricole 2025

The first half of the route is mostly flat, while the second half is undulating with notable climbs. After departing from Rho, the race crosses the upper Po Valley, passing through Magenta, Novara, and Vercelli before reaching the Po River across perfectly flat roads. A rolling section follows, featuring wide, mostly straight roads leading into the final circuit. After San Mauro Torinese, the race follows the Po River along Corso Casale, climbing towards Superga for the first time (turning 600 meters before the finish). A challenging descent via Rivodora takes riders back to San Mauro, before the final ascent to the finish with gradients exceeding 10%.

Final kilometers

The last 5 km, repeated twice (except for the final 600 meters), begin in Corso Casale, Turin, where the climb towards the Basilica di Superga starts. The average gradient is 9.1%, with a 14% peak mid-climb and long stretches at 10%. At 600 meters to go, a sharp left U-turn leads to an 8.2% ramp, followed by the final bend at 50 meters to the finish line on 7-meter-wide asphalt.
