Milan-San Remo kicks off the Classics season on Saturday, with La Primavera the first and longest of the five Monument one-day races.

Defending champion John Degenkolb (Giant-Alpecin) misses out as he recovers from the Giant-Alpecin training camp crash but a host of riders will be vying to replicate his 2015 triumph.

Traditionally viewed as the sprinter’s classic, the WorldTour’s best fast men will face stiff competition from Classics specialists like Fabian Cancellara on the 291km course.

And British Eurosport will be showing the action live from 1.15pm, with plenty of highlights to catch up.
