Gazetta was in fact already chief organiser of the Giro di Lombardia (or Tour of Lombardy), and in 1909 it would also take part in the founding of the Giro d’Italia, cementing its place in what would become Italy’s three biggest races. Milan-San Remo can actually be traced back to 1906, when a two-day amateur race between Milan and San Remo was held for amateurs, but after little interest was initially shown, the organiser of the Giro di Lombardia, a race which had seen its inauguration the year before, approached the newspaper Gazetta Dello Sport and proposed its taking over of the race. It is therefore probably one of the only professional races that has retained, let alone lengthened, its distance over the years, and the prestige associated with the event has only grown with it. With the first edition running in 1907, Milan-San Remo has a history as long as its route, totalling over 300km (including the neutral zone at the start).
