Milano–Torino

Milan -Turin is the oldest still-existing one-day race in cycling. The leading from Milan to Turin race was first held in 1876 and is therefore still significantly older than the French classic Paris -Brest-Paris and Bordeaux - Paris (in each case for the first time in 1891 ). However, until 1894 the race was conducted for the second time and will be held regularly only since 1911.

Milan -Turin is organized by RCS Media Group, which, among other things also the Giro d' Italia organized and the Gazzetta dello Sport publishes.

To date, Milan -Turin is one of the most important Italian 'classics' and is classified as " 1.HC ", the highest category under the ProTour from Cycling Union UCI. As of 2005, Milan -Turin was again held at its traditional date in March and served as the first Italian one-day race of springtime. From 1987 to 2004, the race date to the end of the cycling season (mid-October ) had been transferred.

As a decisive increase of around 200 km race is considered the approximately 600 -meter-high mountain Superga just outside Turin. The relatively simple profile makes the race a " fastest " of the classics in cycling: 1999 Markus Zberg won with an average speed of 45.75 km / h

The Palmarčs of Milan -Turin is clearly influenced by Italian riders: So far, there were only 18 foreign victories, the great majority of them in recent times. Record holder of the race is Costante Girardengo with five hits. As the only German Rolf Golz won in 1988 and 1989.

After five year break, the race was held again in October 2012.
