The starters for the Milan-Turin presented by Crédit Agricole have been officially announced, with the race celebrating 150 years with a high-level start list that will see many important names starting from Rho, all suited to a tough finale, with the double climb to Superga that will likely prove decisive and crown the winner of the 107th edition.
Among the great favorites is a pair of teammates, both protagonists of the recently concluded Tirreno Adriatico, such as Primoz Roglic - winner of the 2021 edition - and Giulio Pellizzari. The rider from the Marche region will have as his main rivals two riders always very skilled when the road climbs, such as Tom Pidcock and Derek Gee.
The Race of the Two Seas has also seen Tobias Halland Johannessen in great condition, who finished third at Superga last year, and Michael Storer, 10th in 2025. Also starting from last year's top 10 are Einer Rubio (5th), Anders Halland Johannessen (6th), Jefferson Cepeda (7th) and Lorenzo Fortunato (8th).
Also worth watching are Jan Christen, Tao Geoghegan Hart, Cian Uijtdebroeks and Paul Double. Two other former winners of the race are present in the start list: Diego Ulissi (2013) and Alberto Bettiol (2024).
THE ROUTE OF THE MILAN-TURIN PRESENTED BY CRÉDIT AGRICOLE
The route is substantially flat in the first half, undulating with some notable climbs in the second. Starting from Rho to cross on flat roads the upper Po Valley in the rice field area touching Magenta, Novara and Vercelli to then head towards the Po crossing the rice fields in perfect flatness. This is followed by an undulating section along wide and predominantly straight roads until reaching the final circuit. After San Mauro Torinese, the Po is skirted along Corso Casale to climb to the Basilica of Superga for the first time (a 600 m deviation before the finish) to descend to Rivodora with a challenging descent that returns to San Mauro and then climbs again to the finish with gradients exceeding 10%.
The last 5 km (which repeat twice except for the final 600 m) begin in Turin on Corso Casale where the climb to the Basilica of Superga starts. The average gradient is 9.1% with a peak of around 14% halfway up the climb and long stretches at 10%. At 600 m from the finish, a U-turn to the left to face a ramp at 8.2% and then the final turn 50 m from the finish on asphalt.
