The five monuments of cycling can also be ridden by hobby athletes in special amateur races and events. Please find below an overview Alpecin Cycling created for the 2022 season:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Milan-Sanremo<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Date: 5 June 2022<br>Start-finish: Milan-Sanremo\/Italy<br>Distance: approx. 300 km<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;Primavera&#8221; amateur event celebrates its 52nd anniversary in 2022. Long staying power will also be required from amateur athletes tackling the approximately 300-kilometre long ride from the capital of Lombardy across the Piedmont plain and the Turchino Pass down to the Ligurian coast. On the final 50 kilometres an array of climbs, including illustrious names such as Capo Berta, Poggio and, of course, the Cipressa shortly before the end of the race, awaits the riders and will soak any energy left out of the athletes\u2019 legs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What sounds like a picturesque setting starts quite dull, however. While the professionals start in front of Milan&#8217;s cathedral, amateur athletes set off on their long journey in a suburb just outside Milan \u2013 Pieve Emanuele. But the event date at the beginning of June at least makes sure there won\u2019t be neither snow nor cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.milano-sanremo.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more info<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tour of Flanders<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Date: 2 April 2022<br>Start-finish: Oudenaarde-Oudenaarde\/Belgium, Oudenaarde-Antwerp\/all Belgium (217 km)<br>Distances: 72 km, 136 km, 177 km, 217 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This amateur race is a must if you want to experience first-hand what it feels like for the pros to ride the &#8220;Ronde van Vlaanderen&#8221; with its Kasseien, the rough cobblestone sections, and the Hellinge, i.e., short, tough climbs. But it is worth the suffering, because also at the amateur race a huge crowd of spectators will be cheering on amateur athletes at the famous and race-deciding climbs Oude Kwaremont, Koppenberg and Paterberg \u2013 only one day before the pro riders are cheered on at their &#8220;Ronde&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your fitness level, you can choose from four different distances: 72, 136, 177 and 217 kilometres. No matter which one you tackle, it is worth the effort, because also at the amateur race a huge crowd of spectators will be cheering on amateur athletes at the famous and race-deciding climbs Oude Kwaremont, Koppenberg and Paterberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The famous Muur van Geraardsbergen \u2013 which is definitely worth riding \u2013 is, however, only part of the 177- and the 217-kilometre course. Despite all the spectacle at the roadside, the finish in Oudenaarde is quite unspectacular. Only one day after amateur athletes completed their race, pros will go on the course for the \u201cRonde\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The longest distance is the only one that starts in Antwerp, there will be a shuttle bus for participants from Oudenaarde to the Belgian port city early in the morning on race day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.werideflanders.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more info<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Paris-Roubaix Challenge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Date: 16 April 2022<br>Start\/Finish: Roubaix-Roubaix\/France, Busigny-Roubaix\/France (172 km)<br>Distances: 70 km, 145 km, 172 km<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amateur athletes who are willing to suffer and tolerate some pain, are given the chance to ride the \u201cHell of the North\u201d.
