Milan San Remo: a late course change happening due to more landslides on the course. Rain will be coming down Saturday again and through Sunday.

 

Pity it won't be on Supersport.

Any suggestions for live streaming online video?

Milan-San Remo - March 23

 

Milan-San Remo is one of most delicately balanced races on the calendar, and there is arguably no other Classic that has such a long list of potential victors. Ostensibly, the largely flat route and fast finale heavily favours the sprinters, but after seven hours of racing, the famous capi on the approach to San Remo swell from mere ripples to severe obstacles that can be the graveyard of so many sprinters’ ambitions and the Classics stars will have their say, too, during the 298km race.

 

Past winners include Gerald Ciolek, Simon Gerrans, Mark Cavendish, and Fabian Cancellara, with all four set to line up for the 2014 edition.

 

What happened last year?

 

Gerald Ciolek (MTN-Qhubeka) won a shortened version of Milan-San Remo, as snow forced organisers to cut the first two climbs. The German sprinter took the close win ahead of Peter Sagan (Cannondale) and Fabian Cancellara (RadioShack-Leopard) in a thrilling sprint finish.

According to AccuWeather the wind during the race on Sunday will be crosswinds almost the whole way:

 

Milan: 13 km/h ENE

Genoa: 24 km/h SSE

San Remo: 13 km/h S

 

Easier to see when I add the arrows to the map:
