Start
Key events can be any memorable event, for example an impressive victory but also a major crash, bold solo or anything that makes for sporting memories.
The 2013 edition of Milano-Sanremo was affected by abysmal weather conditions from start to finish. Heavy snowfall and below-zero temperatures forced organizers to shorten the race by 52 kilometres, eliminating the climbs of the Passo del Turchino and Le Manie, and arranging a bus transfer for the race to begin a second time in Cogoleto.
