2023 Milano-Torino Race Preview
The details of this year's 2023 Milano-Torino are falling into place. Find the latest route profiles and maps below, followed by our strategic preview of the race.
The oldest race on the cycling calendar returns for its 2023 edition, with the prestigious Milano-Torino serving as a warm-up act for the Giro di Lombardia just days later. The race, which traces its history back to 1876, covers a demanding route from the outskirts of Milan through the Piedmontese countryside before climbing to the iconic Basilica di Superga perched high above Turin, a finish that has become synonymous with the event in recent years.
The Superga climb itself is the defining feature of any Milano-Torino preview. The ascent stretches for around six kilometers at an average gradient that punishes anyone who has not arrived in peak condition, and the final kilometers in particular can shatter a reduced front group. Riders who have already put in hard efforts at Il Lombardia or who are carrying fatigue from a long season will find the climb brutally unforgiving.
Given the proximity to Il Lombardia, team strategies will be fascinating to watch. Some squads may use this race as a final tune-up, while others will treat it as a genuine target in its own right. Riders from the classics contingent who excel on punchy, sustained climbs should thrive here, and those with the diesel-like engine required to stay active on the lower slopes before unleashing on the upper gradients will be the ones to watch as the race reaches its conclusion above the city of Turin.
