Probable New Finish for 2010 Milan-Sanremo



Speaking of Alessandro Petacchi.....he was in Sanremo a few days ago for an awards ceremony at the CasinĂ² di Sanremo and took the opportunity to study the probable new finish for 2010 (20 March) during a casual ride.

The proposed finish will be 1 km shorter than the previous two editions, only 1.8 km from the descent of the Poggio. Petacchi observed, "It is a complicated sprint. From the foot of the slope of the Poggio there is less time to organize and the the final straight is narrower. It will favor attackers, with a few seconds lead you can make it to the finish. It will also be important to be at the front at the top of the Poggio."
