Milano-Sanremo live streams: How to watch the first cycling monument of 2025

Milano-Sanremo, 'La Classicissima di Primavera', is the longest one-day race on the cycling calendar and the first of the five Monuments to be contested each year. The 116th edition of the race covers a 289 km course with the decisive final climb of the famous Poggio coming just 6 km before the line.

You can watch Milano-Sanremo 2025 live streams from anywhere with a VPN, and potentially for FREE.

The first Monument of the season runs from the center of Milan to the coastal resort of San Remo over 289 kilometers. It’s true that nothing much happens race wise for the first six hours but when the race hits the twin climbs of the Cipressa and Poggio, it bursts to life. Some call it boring, but they don't get it: it’s about the wait, the hours of anticipation and then the climax combined with the unpredictability that make this race so utterly compelling.

The 2025 edition will play host to this year’s first head to head of cycling’s two mega stars, Mathieu Van der Poel and Tadej Pogačar. Van der Poel has already won the race once back in 2023, but Pogačar is yet to add it to his resume and is desperate to succeed here, in what is arguably the hardest race to win. Everything has to be perfect on the day, perfect legs, perfect positioning, every single star must align if you want to take ‘La Classicissima di Primavera’.

It won’t be just a race between Van der Poel and Pogačar though as any number of riders could win if they make the right decision at exactly the right time. Last year’s winner Jasper Philipsen returns again as the back up plan for Van der Poel and if it does come down to a bunch sprint he will have Jonathan Milan, Olav Kooij and Biniam Girmay pushing him all the way. If the race goes to an opportunist then look for the likes of Thomas Pidcock, Mads Pedersen or Brandon McNulty, if his team mate Pogačar falters.
