The field of contenders for victory in the Milan-Sanremo Women is also extensive and of the highest level, with Lorena Wiebes winning on Via Roma last year. The Dutch national champion, who will be able to count on the support of Lotte Kopecky, has already secured four victories this season and appears to be the clear favorite once again.

Among the women who will try to avoid the sprint finish are especially Kasia Niewiadoma and Kim Le Court, while particularly interested in a sprint finale are Swiss rider Noemi Ruegg, who finished third in 2025 and has already won this year at the Tour Down Under, and former world champion Elisa Balsamo. Notable absentees, we should note, are Elisa Longo Borghini and Marianne Vos, who withdrew just yesterday.

THE ROUTE OF THE SANREMO WOMEN PRESENTED BY CRÉDIT AGRICOLE. The second edition of the Sanremo Women repeats the route tackled in 2025. It starts from Genoa, crosses the Ancient Port on an elevated section to reach Sestri Ponente and enters the Aurelia state road. A few kilometers later the men's race is encountered at Voltri and from there the race continues to the finish, retracing the road that for more than 110 years has connected Milan with Sanremo. It proceeds westward next to the sea along the Aurelia state road through Varazze, Savona, Albenga until reaching Imperia. At San Lorenzo al Mare, after the classic sequence of the Capes (Mele, Cervo and Berta), the two climbs inserted in the last decades of the last century are tackled: Cipressa (1982) and Poggio di Sanremo (1961). The Cipressa covers 5.6 km at 4.1% gradient to lead into the very technical descent that returns to the ss.1 Aurelia. The finale exactly mirrors that of the men's race.
