The Milan-Sanremo 2025 starts from Pavia and heads north towards Milan to reach Certosa where it joins the traditional route. It touches Casteggio and Voghera before a further digression in the territory reaching Rivanazzano and Salice Terme to rejoin the classic route in Tortona and from there follow it to the arrival retracing the road that for more than 110 years has connected Milan with the Riviera di Ponente touching Ovada, the Turchino Pass to descend on Genoa-Voltri.
It then proceeds westward beside the sea along the Aurelia state highway through Varazze, Savona, Albenga (no Manie climb inserted from 2008 to 2013) until it reaches Imperia. In San Lorenzo al Mare, after the classic sequence of Capi (Mele, Cervo and Berta), we face the two climbs inserted in recent decades: Cipressa (1982) and Poggio di Sanremo (1961). Cipressa passes 5.6 km at 4.1% to enter the very technical descent that leads back to ss.1 Aurelia.
At 9 km from the finish, the Poggio di Sanremo climb begins (3.7 km at less than 4 percent average with peaks of 8 percent in the section before the drop-off). The climb has a slightly narrowed roadway and 4 hairpin bends in the first 2 km. The descent è very challenging on asphalt road, narrowed in some passages, with and a succession of hairpin bends and counter-bends until the entrance to the Aurelia highway. The’last part of the descent takes place in the’built-up area of San Remo. Last 2 km on long straights on city streets. Of note at 850 m from the’finish a left turn on a traffic circle and at 750 m from the’finish the’last turn that leads onto the final straight of via Roma, all on asphalt surface.
