The first Monument of the season and one of the most unusual, La Classicissima di Primavera is a grueling 289km, the first 264km of which serve as a sort of stand-off, a prolonged lactic acid-builder ahead of the storm – a 25km stretch of madness featuring the Cipressa, the Poggio and a breakneck 80km/h descent towards the coast.

Read on and we'll show you how to watch Milan-San Remo 2025 live streams from anywhere with a VPN, and potentially for free.

The challenge for race favorites Tadej Pogačar and Mathieu van der Poel is finding a way to shake off the sprinters, who include Mads Pedersen, Jonathan Milan and reigning champion Jasper Philipsen, without going too early and running out of steam.

Rumor has it that Pogačar, who's singled out Milan-San Remo as the event that plays on his mind more than any other, is planning to break away on the Cipressa. It's a tactic that hasn't worked since Gabriele Colombo in 1996, but the Slovenian has tried multiple strategies in the past, and always come up short.

2023 champion van der Poel looked strong at Tirreno-Adriatico, while the nature of that final descent means Tom Pidcock could come into play if he's in and around the front after Poggio.

Read on for everything you need to know to watch a 2025 Milan-San Remo live stream from anywhere.
