Team Sky, Trek Factory Racing, BMC Racing Team, and Team Novo Nordisk.  Those teams and many more will be racing in one of the most prestigoues cycling races on March 22nd.  Milan-San Remo is the longest professional one day race clocking in at a unheard of 298km.  With a course that is mainly flat, Milan-San Remo is one fastest races speed wise all year.  Cycling is a very much so a thinking mans sport, Milan-San Remo is no different, the race will test everyone from the racer looking to make an early break from the peloton to the sprinters.  If the sprinters can't get over the climbs they will have no chance of winning.  If a racers want to try and break from the peloton in hopes of shocking the world they better do so a little later than usual, this race is to long to breakaway right from the start.  Riders will take crazy risks on descents, every rider will be looking to save a half second whenever they can.  To give you an idea of how fast the race will be think about this while watching the race, the average speed of the winner of the race in 2006 was an astounding 28mph, oh and it took the winner 6hrs 29min 41sec to finish the 185 mile course!!

Alexander Kristoff, Fabian Cancellara, Peter Sagan, André Greipel, and Charles Planet all of these riders have a chance of winning the race.  That is what makes Milan-San Remo so great every rider that is in the race has a legit chance of winning.  Team Novo Nordisk will be making its debut in The Spring Classic.  As a follower of Team novo Nordisk it will be amazing to see the members of the team racing against the best cyclists in the world.  Many of the riders competing will be racing in The Tour De France in July.  Next Sunday I will have a smile from ear to ear seeing Team Novo Nordisk members racing in one of the biggest races of the year.  I mean Peter Sagan is like a mythical figure in the cycling world, he is the future and has all of the tools to be the next face of cycling.  Seeing the white jersey of Team Novo Nordisk next to a possible cycling god is crazy.  I shouldn't be surprised though, the work that the team puts in is amazing.  It amazes me how quickly they have made an impression on the cycling world and how many of the teams riders have been on the podium this season.


Milan-San Rimo is known as "The Spring Classic" at the end of the race on March 22nd I have a feeling that I will refer to it as the "Novo Nordisk Classic".  Team Novo Nordisk will have a rider finish in the top 15, if and when Team Novo Nordisk gets a rider in the final sprint to the finish anything is possible.  It is tough to not to think about what would happen to the cycling world and diabetes if a Novo Nordisk team member wins Milan-San Remo.
