Loved this ride, warm air and so much history, and with a smooth road surface you just fly up. Great in the evening to with little traffic around and terrific views along the coast. Here's a video I made of the experience. https://youtu.be/DkKzRBTouso?si=Mi9bxKHUbPR8AAAD

It's a great way to pretend you're the pros and see how big the gap is between you and them. It's a fairly even slope and it goes very well. Be careful at the 3rd hairpin because you quickly go wide if you come in too hard.

A faire pour se prendre pour les pros et juger de l'écart énorme avec eux. C'est assez homogène comme pente et ça se fait très bien. Attention à la 3ème épingle car on sort vite au large en arrivant trop fort

A cycling myth! Right from the start, you can feel the history sweeping through you. What a pleasure to reach the top knowing that so many champions have climbed this same route! An unforgettable experience.

You sometimes hear that the pros on this climb struggle not to go out of the curve because it is such a fast climb's pace. I didn't have that problem, yet it remains a real runner. If a peloton had never passed here, let alone the Milan-San Remo peloton, no one would have crowed here. You cycle this mainly because of the cycling history. The climb itself does not have much to offer and the descent is harder than the climb. However, if you have to choose between going via the Poggio or the busy main road, the Poggio is still preferable.

Je hoort soms dat de profs op deze klim moeite hebben niet uit de bocht te gaan omdat het zo'n snelle beklimming is. Dat probleem had ik niet, maar toch blijft het een echte loper. Moest hier nooit een peleton zijn gepasseerd, laat staan het Milaan - San Remo peloton, er zou hier geen haan naar kraaien. Je fietst deze dan ook vooral wegens de wielergeschiedenis. De klim zelf heeft niet veel te bieden en de afdaling is lastiger dan de klim. Het is wel zo dat als je moet kiezen via de Poggio te gaan of de drukke hoofdweg de Poggio nog altijd de voorkeur heeft.

Even more than the Cipressa, this is the iconic climb from MSR. Very easy to do which gives you enough breath to think back to the history of this climb. Must have done it once!

Nog meer dan de Cipressa is dit de iconische klim uit MSR. Zeer makkelijk te doen wat je voldoende adem geeft om terug te denken aan de geschiedenis van deze klim. Moet je eens gedaan hebben!

Iconic climb to be the last hurdle before the arrival of the Milano-Sanremo.

It features some panoramic views directly over the sea.

It is an extremely easy climb, anyone, even without any training, can make it to the top.

It is definitely worth tackling if you are a cycling fan, as it is the most iconic section of the Milano-Sanremo.
I have ridden it several times, even coming directly from Milan, and I must say that, in any case, the views at sunset are beautiful.
I would also recommend it to someone who does not follow professional cycling, although, once the symbolic significance of this climb is removed, the value drops considerably.

At 4.56W/Kg I climbed in 8' and 20''

E' una salita estremamente facile, chiunque, anche senza alcun allenamento, può arrivare in cima.

Vale sicuramente la pena affrontarla se si è amanti del ciclismo, poiché è il settore più iconico della Milano-Sanremo.
L'ho percorsa varie volte, anche arrivando direttamente da Milano e devo dire che, in ogni caso, i panorami, al tramonto, sono bellissimi.
La consiglio anche a qualcuno che non segue il ciclismo professionistico, anche se, tolto il significato simbolico di questa salita, il valore scende notevolmente.

Runner. As we do in Belgium. Big slab uphill.
But that descent, perhaps the most mythical descent in a monument, climb or even cycling history. Going down is, of course, a safe thing to do as a cyclist. Thinking about the cycling history that was created here, by Merckx, Poulidor, Roger, Cavendish, Zabel, Van Aert, ... Well, I could go on and on.
Everyone must have done the Poggio at some point, if only to be able to say afterwards, that it was not much uphill... But what a history!

Lopertje. Zoals we in België. Grote plaat naar boven.
Maar die afdaling, misschien wel de meest mythische afdaling in een monument, klim of zelfs de wielerhistorie. Naar beneden gaan, doe je als wielertoerist natuurlijk veilig. Overpeinsend aan de wielerhistorie die hier gecreëerd werd, door Merckx, Poulidor, Roger, Cavendish, Zabel, Van Aert, ... tja, ik kan nog wel even blijven doorgaan.
Iedereen moet ooit de Poggio gedaan hebben, al was het maar om achteraf te kunnen zeggen, dat ie naar boven niet veel voorstelde... Maar wat een historie!

Nice because every year it is the main event in Milan San Remo, for the rest it's a small hill where every trained cyclist can cycle on his off-ramp, wind can sometimes be an important factor if you want to take it...

Nice terrace at the top to rest or if the pros suddenly take the technical descent!

Leuk omdat hij jaarlijks de scherprechter is in Milaan San Rémo, verder een lopend heuveltje waar elk getraind fietser op zijn buitenblad kan opfietsen, wind kan hier wel soms belangrijke factor zijn moest je hem willen opknallen...

Leuk terrasje boven om uitterusten of als de profs ineens de technische afdaling meepakken!
