The experience of Saturday’s 100th anniversary editon of Milano-SanRemo can not be complete without taking time to soak in the history that makes ‘the Sanremo’ a cycling monument. Three hundred kms from Milan to San Remo, passing so many points on the corsa integral to its life… Although no longer decisive in the outcome, the Passo del Turchino remains key to the heart of this race…

Eight days of racing ended in Long Beach on Sunday, and it gives us a chance to award our own “best of” trophies to the riders and personalities that made the final day so memorable. Hollywood has the Oscars…and the Tour of California now has the Pezzers.

Now that’s racing! 105 miles from Santa Barbara to Santa Clarita gives us the best competition of the week. CSC and Discovery go mano-a-mano. The battle goes to CSC, but Discovery still rules the war.
