About The Classicissima Granfondo
The Riviera dei Fiori Granfondo
The Granfondo Sanremo-Sanremo 'La Classicissima' is the cycling event that takes place in Sanremo (province of Imperia) the day after the professional Milan-Sanremo race. Starting from Lungomare Salvo d'Acquisto, the route winds along the Riviera dei Fiori and retraces the final sections of the classic race, including the climbs of Cipressa and Poggio.
Legendary Climbs Within Everyone's Reach
The granfondo is open to amateur cyclists aged 18 to 75 and allows participants to tackle the same climbs that decide the professional race, in a spectacular landscape between the sea and hills. It's an opportunity to test yourself against cycling history, on roads made famous by decades of the Milan-Sanremo.
A Weekend of Great Cycling
Together with the professional race and other granfondo events, 'La Classicissima' makes Sanremo the capital of spring cycling. A weekend that transforms the Riviera dei Fiori into a grand stage for two-wheel enthusiasts, professionals and amateurs alike.
