Poggio di San Remo

The Poggio di San Remo is a hill in the Italian region Liguria, near Sanremo.It is mainly known from road cycling, as it is the final climb in the classic Milan–San Remo.From the top of the Poggio, 7 km from the finish, the course heads down via a fast and curvy descent towards the center of San Remo where the race traditionally finishes on the Via Roma, the city's illustrious shopping street.In recent years there has rarely been a big selection in the latter stages of the race.Many sprinters are able to keep up with the main peloton on the climbs, and therefore the race most often ends in a group sprint.
