Milan-San Remo live streams: How to watch the first cycling monument of 2024

Mathieu Van Der Poel of The Netherlands crosses the finish line on his bike ahead of the Milan-San Remo 2024 race.

Milan–San Remo, 'La Classicissima di Primavera', is the longest one-day race on the cycling calendar and the first of the five Monuments to be contested this season. The 115th edition of the race covers a 288 km course with the decisive final climb of the famous Poggio coming just 6 km before the line.

You can watch Milan-San Remo live streams from anywhere with a VPN, and potentially for FREE.

Last year’s winner and current world champion Mathieu Van der Poel (Alpecin - Deceuninck) has chosen Milan-San Remo as his first race of 2024 and few would bet against him winning for the second year in a row. Whilst most of the peloton have multiple race days in their legs he has been preparing at altitude to hit the ground running and hopefully do to the field what he did in the winter cross season.

The first Monument of the cycling season runs from the centre of Milan to the coastal resort of San Remo. It’s true that nothing really happens for 282 kilometres (other than a wearing down of the riders) but when the race hits the famous Poggio, it bursts to life. Some call it boring, but it’s about the wait and then the climax – the fight to be first over the top and descend like a daredevil to the coast. 

Can Tadej Pogačar, Mads Pedersen or Filippo Ganna challenge Van der Poel?  Read on for all the info on where to watch Milan-San Remo online from anywhere.

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the cycling on your DAZN subscription?

You can still watch Milan-San Remo live streams thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for sports fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view an Australian service, you'd select Italy from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to SBS or another streaming service and watch the action.
