- Soudal Quick-Step sports director Davide Bramati: "We will start Milano-Sanremo with a lot of motivation. We know we aren’t the main favourites, but this doesn’t mean we won’t try to do our best to get a good result. The race is six kilometers shorter than last year, but that doesn’t change anything and the action should once again kick off in the final hour of the race. The riders we have at the start are determined to give their all out there and we’ll just have to be confident and wait to see how things will pan out after seven hours."

Marius Mayrhofer (GER)

Florian Stork (GER)

- Luke Roberts, Team DSM coach: "The 2023 Milano Sanremo will roll out from a new starting area in Abbiategrasso, west of Milan, then link up with the traditional parcours, including the Passo del Turchino before taking on the Capi as the fight for position begins towards the final climbs of the Cipressa and Poggio. We have a mixed team including the experienced core of our classics group and some young guys taking on this race for the first time. Our goal is to be present with numbers in the final and then play our cards well to get the best possible result out of that."

- Matej Mohorič (Team Bahrain Victorious) won the 2022 Milan-San Remo.

Luke Durbridge (AUS)

Alex Edmondson (AUS)

Alex Konychev (ITA)

Cameron Meyer (AUS)

Michael Matthews (AUS)

Luka Mezgec (SLO)

- Michael Matthews (Team BikeExchange-Jayco): "If I think about the finish line on Via Roma in San Remo, a lot of memories over the years come to my mind, a few high and a lot of lows. It’s been a rollercoaster race for me. Milan-San Remo has always attracted me since I started cycling and now I have a new opportunity to get on the top step and I will do my best to be on the that podium for the third time. I think I struggled a little bit through Tirreno-Adriatico after my crash in Strade Bianche, but to be honest the shape is much better than I thought, and I think I’ll be ready for Saturday."

- Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl’s team for the 2022 Milano-Sanremo:

Andrea Bagioli (ITA)
Davide Ballerini (ITA)
Mattia Cattaneo (ITA)
Mikkel Honoré (DEN)
Fabio Jakobsen (NED)
Florian Sénéchal (FRA)
Zdenek Stybar (CZE)

- Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl directeur sportif Davide Bramati: "Milano-Sanremo is an event we love and which we are always happy to race, but this year we know the chances won’t favour us, as we can’t count on Julian, who we hope will make a fast and complete recovery. We have a young team at the start, featuring also Fabio, who has had a great season so far and will make his first appearance here. Despite not being among the favourites, we are still motivated to do a good race."

- Matthew White, Team BikeExchange Head Sport Director: "It’s a race that we have had success at in the past. We won in our first year as a team in 2012 with Simon Gerrans and then we had a podium finish with Michael Matthews in 2015. One of the reasons why Michael Matthews came back to this team was to target the Monuments and Milan-San Remo is the first one of the year. I believe it’s a race that Michael can win, and I think going into the race, he showed us that he has good form in Paris-Nice and we are certainly aiming to win “SanRemo” on Saturday. We have a really strong and dedicated team to look after Michael. I believe that the new route with the Colle di Giovo instead of the Turchino won’t change the race too much and Milan-Sanremo will remain a very predictable race, especially with the type of riders that are winning at the moment at Tirreno-Adriatico and Paris-Nice. I think it’s going to all come down to the Poggio."

- Team BikeExchange lineup for Milan-San Remo:

Luke Durbridge (AUS)
Michael Hepburn (AUS)
Chris Juul-Jensen (DEN)
Alexander Konychev (ITA)
Michael Matthews (AUS)
Luka Mezgec (SLO)
Robert Stannard (AUS)

- Michael Matthews (Team BikeExchange): "I will arrive at Milan-San Remo after a strong week at Paris-Nice. We had great work from all the team, and it was really good for me, both physically and also mentally to be back with my GreenEDGE teammates. Going to my next challenge of Milan – San Remo, I feel even more motivated to do well and our target is to fight to arrive until the last few meters at the front and play our best chances for victory. It will only be my second race of the 2021 season, but I feel good, and we will give our best shot at this unique and special race."

- CCC Team for the 2020 Milan-San Remo:

Alessandro De Marchi (ITA)
Jonas Koch (GER)
Fausto Masnada (ITA)
Michael Schär (SUI)
Matteo Trentin (ITA)
Greg Van Avermaet (BEL)
Sports Directors: Valerio Piva (ITA), Fabio Baldato (ITA)

- CCC Team Sports Director Valerio Piva: "I think we could see a very different Milano - Sanremo for a number of reasons. Firstly, we are talking about a race in August so the temperatures will be much higher than they usually are in March, and most riders only have a handful of race days in the legs in the past week so a 300-kilometer race is going to be very demanding. As usual, I think the Cipressa will be the crucial point of the race but having one less rider per team can make it harder to control."

- NTT Pro Cycling roster for Milan-San Remo:

Giacomo Nizzolo
Michael Valgren
Max Walscheid
Michael Gogl
Roman Kreuziger
Edvald Boasson Hagen

- Giacomo Nizzolo (NTT Pro Cycling): "We are ready for Milano-Sanremo. It is going to be a tough and long race, the longest of the year in fact. It's also going to be hot tomorrow, but NTT Pro Cycling is prepared, motivated and looking forward to a having a good race."

- Deceuninck-Quickstep lineup for the 2020 Milano-Sanremo:

Julian Alaphilippe (FRA)
Kasper Asgreen (DEN)
Sam Bennett (IRL)
Tim Declercq (BEL)
Bob Jungels (LUX)
Zdenek Stybar (CZE)
 
Sports Directors: Davide Bramati (ITA)
Wilfried Peeters (BEL)

- Deceuninck–Quick-Step sports director Davide Bramati: "It will be a different Milano-Sanremo, that’s for sure. The parcours is changed, it takes place in August when the temperatures are higher and we’ll race it in six, which will make the race difficult to control. This time, we won’t start as favourites, we saw since the restart of the season that many other riders are in good condition and should be in the mix in the business end of the race, but we are motivated to come out of it with a good result and for that we’ll give everything."

- Teams have been reduced to 6 riders for the 2020 Milan-San Remo. Further, the route has changed as coastal towns have bowed out of the race due to COVID-19.

- Note: Due to issues related to the coronavirus, the 2020 Milan-San Remo is postponed, date to be determined...

- Statement from race organizer RCS regarding the race postponement: "Following the confirmation by the relevant authorities that they are unable to grant appropriate authorisations, RCS Sport announces that the cycling race Milano-Sanremo, scheduled for 21 March is cancelled from its original date."

- Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quickstep) won the 2019 Milan-San Remo.

- Matt White (Mitchelton-Scott directeur sportif): "This race certainly put us on the map in Europe way back in 2012 and it’s a race we’ve have continued to have success in, podiuming twice since with Michael Matthews and Caleb Ewan. We’ve always been competitive and this year I am sure will not be any different.  The big thing that can affect Milan - San Remo is the weather. You can have such a variety of conditions. From a beautiful day with no wind, or as we’ve also seen, snow. Because it is a race of almost 300km and the boys are out there for a long, long time, the weather does have a big effect on the final result.  It’s always that mix between the world’s best Classics riders and the pure sprinters. It’s the easiest Classic to ride, but it’s one of the hardest to win.  Matteo is our man. He’s got great form and has had a couple of victories already this season. He’s a very proud Italian and it’s a Classic he knows he has the ability to win."

- Matteo Trentin (Mitchelton-Scott) before Milan-San Remo: "I think I am coming into Milan - San Remo with better form than last year and also with a smoother approach. I have done my homework, let’s see on Saturday.  We have a really strong team. We can see from our team’s performances at Paris-Nice and in Tirreno.  San Remo is not a short race, it’s a long race. There are a lot of options, so many things can happen in all of those kilometres, but I think we are ready for that."

- Preview: Milan-San Remo 2019 – Preview. (Cyclingnews) - Alaphilippe the favourite but form book no guarantee at La Classicissima.

- CCC Team for the 2019 Milan-San Remo:

Alessandro De Marchi (ITA)
Michael Schär (SUI)
Greg Van Avermaet (BEL)
Gijs Van Hoecke (BEL)
Nathan Van Hooydonck (BEL)
Guillaume Van Keirsbulck (BEL)
Łukasz Wiśniowski (POL)
Sports Directors: Fabio Baldato (ITA), Gabriele Missaglia (ITA)

- Greg Van Avermaet (CCC Team) before the 2019 Milan-Sanremo: "We all know that despite the length of Milan-San Remo, it can be an easy race to finish but one of the hardest races to win. It is also one of the most open races in that anyone has a chance if they are still there on the Poggio. I’ve been in the top ten on two occasions and I know I can do a good performance, particularly if we race hard as I can do a good sprint after a long, hard race. Anything can happen at a race like Milan-San Remo so I will give everything I have on Saturday.  I felt really good at Tirreno-Adriatico and I take a lot of confidence from the legs I had at the end of those long stages we did there. It was the perfect preparation race for the upcoming Classics so I think the whole team benefited from the long stages and difficult parcours."

- News: Trentin heads up strong Mitchelton-Scott team for Milan-San Remo. (Cyclingnews) - European road race champion to go up against Viviani, Sagan and Van Avermaet.

- Giacomo Nizzolo (Team Dimension Data) two days before Milan-Sanremo: "Milano-Sanremo is always a special race because at the start there are at least 50 riders who can play the game for the victory. It’s not a really hard race, if you take into account its profile, but after 290km every small hill can feel like a big, big climb. So we will try to spend the least energy as possible and be ready for those crucial final stages."

- News: Alaphilippe eyes Strade Bianche, Tirreno-Adriatico, Milan-San Remo hat-trick. (Cyclingnews) - 'We don't want to stop winning' says Deceuninck-QuickStep leader.

- Fabio Baldato (CCC Team directeur sportif): "The decisive points of Milan-San Remo are the same as usual. The Cipressa climb and descent and the Poggio climb and descent are the points where the difference can be made and as we saw last year, Nibali did a great move and avoided a bunch sprint. Most of the time it is a sprint with 30 or 40 riders, but that is the nice thing about the race, it is open for everyone to try something.  Greg Van Avermaet is our clear leader, he is our caption and is looking really good, but we also need to be ready to react to different situations. Alessandro De Marchi is coming in from Paris-Nice with strong form and the guys from Tirreno-Adriatico are also in good shape so we need to be smart and be ready to take every opportunity we get in the race."

- Jonathan Vaughters on M-SR: "The unique demand of that race is the length. The Poggio is just this intense five-minute period. So it’s funny – it’s this seven-hour race that’s decided in five minutes. It’s a weird combination. It’s not like any of the other classics."

Evgeny Kobernyak
Stepan Kurianov
Alexander Vlasov

- Alexander Vlasov (Gazprom-RusVelo): "The season has started not so long ago, but for me it will be already the third WT race. I am more than happy about it. Probably all the professional riders strive to compete in this monumental race, to win it — is a true dream of most of them, and the same applies to me. Of course, I understand that it is my first year in professionals and it's all about getting valuable experience, continuous development and being valuable for the team. Competing with the best cyclists in the world certainly makes me stronger, so I look forward to crossing the start line in Milan and will do everything possible for the result."

- Fabrizio Guidi (EF Education First-Drapac): "It’s special because it’s uncertain.  Every year we’re asking what’s going to happen on the uphill, the downhill of the Cipressa, how to manage the Poggio. Who will attack and when? There are all these questions. Nobody is really able to say what will happen. Until we see the final, then everything seems easy to predict."

- Alberto Volpi (Bahrain-Merida directeur sportif): "This race is very fascinating because it would seem very easy but it can become very difficult. We have high quality riders like our leader Sonny Colbrelli, captain Vincenzo Nibali and the young Matej Mohoric, who won in Larciano 20 days ago.  Together with them - still Volpi - athletes who come from Paris-Nice or “Tirreno” as Pibernik, Haussler, Pellizotti and Koren that will give a great help along almost all 300 kilometers of the Sanremo."

- Team Dimension Data for Milan-San Remo:

161 BOASSON HAGEN Edvald
162 CAVENDISH Mark
163 EISEL Bernhard
164 RENSHAW Mark
165 SLAGTER Tom-Jelte
166 THOMSON Jay Robert
167 VERMOTE Julien

- Mark Cavendish (Team Dimension Data) will be back in action at M-SR: "After crashing in Tirreno I’m obviously not in any sort of condition to win Milan-Sanremo but having been able to train enough through the pain over the last few days I feel like I can go in support of my teammates.  Milan-Sanremo is a race close to my heart and it’s a particular style of race that reminding my body of the rhythm of it this year, will help me to compete for the win in future years."

- BMC Racing for Milan-San Remo:

Alberto Bettiol (ITA)
Damiano Caruso (ITA)
Jempy Drucker (LUX)
Simon Gerrans (AUS)
Jürgen Roelandts (BEL)
Michael Schär (SUI)
Greg Van Avermaet (BEL)

- Maximilian Sciandri (BMC Racing D.S.): "Although we have Greg Van Avermaet as our leader, Milan-San Remo is not a race where we go in as the outright favorite team. However, some sprinters are out of the race so that could change the dynamics a little bit and as usual, we will be going there with the whole team around Greg. Greg has tested himself on a couple of occasions at Tirreno-Adriatico and his condition looks good. I think he is on a good and healthy build-up to Milan-San Remo."

- Philippe Gilbert commenting about Saturday's race: "It’s always difficult to understand this race and predict what will happen, because a win depends on a number of factors and can come after a multitude of scenarios, but one thing that’s certain is we are going there with a strong team and several cards to play.  I was a bit sick in Tirreno-Adriatico, but I’m happy for finishing the race and adding some valuable kilometers under the belt before Sanremo. It’s one of the biggest classics of the year and we are ready for it, despite not having Fernando in the team. The confidence is there, the squad, as I said, is a solid one and doesn’t lack options, and we’ll just see what the race will bring."

The best decision was to stop today, treat him and hopefully he will be ready for the next week."
