Course description
Middle distance on the Ligurian Riviera: swim in the Portosole marina, an 80 km bike loop with the 17 km climb to Passo Ghimbegna and the Milan–San Remo descent, plus a flat two-lap run.
Coach tip
Despite the short 80 km, the bike is the hardest leg – ride the 1,500 m of climbing conservatively.
The final descent is technical, practise cornering out of the aero position.
The run is flat; whatever you overspend on the climbs costs you double here.
