Lots Happening Today...

As well as the Sea Otter Classic (road and mtb), there is also the Milan-San Remo and Women's World Cup #3 (Primavera Rosa) races happening in Italy. So expect a stream of updates all day.

Currently at Milan-San Remo, there is a breakaway of 3 riders (Francisco Cerezo Perales (Vitalicio Seguros), Robert Hunter (Lampre) and Marco Antonio Di Renzo (Cantina Tollo)), who have been out in front since the 44 kilometre mark. Their lead reached a maximum of twelve and a half minutes, but is down to just over four minutes at the 210 kilometre mark (84 kilometres to go).

Flash!

Sara Felloni of Italy has won the 118 kilometre Primavera Rosa in front of Gabriella Pregnolato (Ita) and Chantal Beltman (Ned). The winning time was 3:02:52. More to follow.
