Milan San Remo is the first major classic of the spring which was held this past weekend in Italy. It is a whooping 291 kilometers long (180 miles) and finishes with a short, hard climb followed by a fast tricky descent into the coastal Mediterranean city of San Remo. This great video, “How the Race Was Won: 2016 Milan-San Remo” from Cosmo Catalano and cyclocosm.com, gives the ins and out to just what went down within the race and how French sprinter Arnaud Demare was able to win the first Spring Classic of the year. Watching videos like these are a great way to up your tactical knowledge in cycling whether you are racing or just watching. Enjoy!
