Race distance remains 294km with the Cipressa and Poggio climbs This year’s Milan-San Remo will become Abbiategrasso to San Remo after race organisers were forced to move the start from central Milan to the small town that sits 25km west of the Lombardia capital The race will still officially be known as Milan-San Remo, just as Paris-Roubaix retains its original name despite starting from Compiègne and not the French capital.  Cyclingnews understands that the start of Milan-San Remo was forced out of the city centre due to a number of reasons including a limited number of traffic police available on Saturday March 18.  Local authorities and traffic police have apparently prioritised the Stramilano half marathon event on Sunday March 19 and are apparently unable or unwilling to provide the road closures and police needed to ensure Milan-San Remo leaves the city centre safely on Saturday morning Women's Milan-San Remo planned for 2023 Matej Mohoric wins Milan-San Remo with daring Poggio descent Mohoric: I've destroyed cycling, now everyone will use a dropper post Abbiategrasso is part of the wider Metropolitan city of Milan and sits 25km to the west of the city centre close to the border between the Lombardy and Piedmont regions.  Milan-San Remo is traditionally the longest monument on the calendar and RCS Sport has confirmed it will retain a similar distance.  New maps and race information provided by RCS Sport show a race distance of 294 km with the new race route rejoining the traditional Milan-San Remo route near Pavia after 30km.  The race route will again climb the Passo del Turchino before dropping down to the Mediterranean coast in Genoa The final part of the race will include the short coastline climbs before the often decisive Cipressa and Poggio climbs in the final 30km Matej Mohoric won Milan-San Remo in 2022 using a dropper seatpost to lower his position on his bike and so distance his rivals on the descent of the Poggio.  Plans for the return of a women's edition of Milan-San Remo have apparently been delayed until 2024 Cyclingnews will have full live coverage of the race Stephen FarrandSocial Links NavigationHead of NewsStephen is one of the most experienced member of the Cyclingnews team having reported on professional cycling since 1994 He has been Head of News at Cyclingnews since 2022 before which he held the position of European editor since 2012 and previously worked for Reuters Michele Bertelli Thomson Reuters Foundation/Michele Bertelli As climate change fuels harsher drought in Europe farmers and those who depend on them are at risk Italy - There is only a feeble trickle in the irrigation canal feeding farmer Alessandro Salmoiraghi's field of kiwi fruit in northern Italy."The constant problem is the lack of water," he said is the fourth generation of his family to farm Cascina San Donato vegetables and fruit - primarily kiwi - on a normally lush plain just an hour's drive west of Milan If another farmer starts irrigating tomorrow the flow could easily stop," Salmoiraghi said at his farm climate change is fuelling more extreme weather harsher droughts and heatwaves that can spur crop failures That presents a threat to farmers such as Salmoiraghi and the millions who depend on Europe's agriculture for food and a living It is also forcing Italy's government to take new steps to manage water disputes and renovate infrastructure "The climate has changed in the last 10 years," Salmoiraghi noted pointing to the lack of hard winters and frosty mornings his farm is fed by the waters of Swiss Alpine glaciers that melt into the Ticino But after poor winter rains and dismal Alpine snowfalls across northern Italy failed to replenish reserves the arrival of spring has brought worries of more suffering following the drought of 2022 The vast valley along the banks of the River Po stretching some 650 km from the southern Alps and Italy's northwestern border with France to the shores of the Adriatic in east accounts for about a third of Italy's agricultural production Last year people could walk across the river bed in places A boat sunk in World War Two stood high and dry in the mud and gauges showed water levels below what normally counts as zero Italy is far from alone. Agricultural production is also under strain in France and Spain and the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization says 3.2 billion people worldwide live in areas facing high to very high water scarcity Attilio Fontana, president of the Lombardy region, centred on Milan, said last month that regional water storage levels were less than half what they normally are at this time of year Coldiretti, Italy's main farmer's association, said the sector had lost some 6 billion euros ($6.6 billion) last year and predicted 300,000 businesses would lose more if the drought does not end But experts say that would need almost non-stop rain from now until May and June when most farmers start irrigating their fields postponing the irrigation season," said Massimo Sertori the councillor responsible for water resources in Lombardy Italy grows about 50% of the rice produced in the European Union but is set to cut output this year as farmers plant less because of the drought Some 94% of Italy's crop is grown in Lombardy and in Piedmont "We are especially worried about the spring crops and then vegetables and fruit," said Lorenzo Bazzana it could hurt the whole agricultural supply chain which supply the ham and cheese products for which Italy is world famous Italy exported 61 billion euros ($66.6 billion) of food and agricultural products last year But Salmoiraghi lost some 30% of his maize harvest last year and fears water scarcity will soon become the new normal The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts rainfall in the Po valley will vary more in the coming years, with an increase in extreme weather events Extreme drought is already affecting 6% of towns in Lombardy and Piedmont with 19 of them experiencing the highest level of shortage Tractors pump water from River Po to a channel as parts of Italy's longest river and largest reservoir of freshwater have dried up due to the worst drought in the last 70 years It said some towns had already started receiving water in tanker trucks "The situation remains utterly critical," said Alessandro Bratti general secretary of the authority overseeing the River Po basin In 2022, water from large lakes helped ease the drought's impact. But water in Lake Garda, which eventually flows into the River Po, is below half of normal levels In response, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni last month set up a control room to monitor water capacity across the country and is to appoint a national commissioner to oversee the issue The commissioner will be able to intervene in issues of water management and mediate between state bodies. Last week the cabinet approved a raft of short-term measures to simplify procedures and speed up water infrastructure works Those who draw water illegally can now face fines of up to 50,000 euros A new study by the Energy and Water Foundation and the company Proger said Italy receives an average rainfall of 301 billion cubic metres a year but collects and redistributes only 11% of it The study also found the country's 531 major dams are operating far below capacity due to technical issues and lack of investment At the local level, the Lombardy government has asked water companies and hydroelectric operators to limit their usage "We are seeking a point of equilibrium that allows us to fill the lakes without hampering energy production," Sertori said Sertori believes lakes will be key to boosting water storage with the region undertaking renovation work to expand capacity While waiting to see what effect the measures have farmers are looking for their own ways to adapt but he was also helped by the rise in commodity prices offsetting the loss in productivity he is just thinking about reducing the possible harm at least I lose only one harvest and not the whole season."

                      Giulia Castoldi (GC): I think I have met the same difficulties that anyone would encounter in any company The difficulties are usually about training and acquiring the skills needed to succeed Working in an environment where the percentage of men is very high has not been and still isn't a problem for me as long as you know how to do your job with passion and competence My career in the company took several stages I became a marketing manageress by moving from one department to another which allowed me to fully understand the real needs of the BCS Group This led me to believe that where there is proven experience This is also the case of associations I belong to in sectors that are usually considered male and where more and more women are starting to emerge the

credit: RCS Sport)The route map(Image credit: RCS Sport)Stage 19: Abbiategrasso-Alpe di Mera Three days remain and the first two are in the mountains, beginning with this stage that concludes with the first-ever Giro d'Italia finish on the fearsomely-steep Alpe di Mera. From the start in Abbiategrasso, the opening third of stage 19 is benign, rising very gently as the plains are swapped for the early foothills of the Alps. The complexion changes at Orta San Giulia, where the riders will arrive on the fourth-category Alpe Agogna climb after organisers RCS Sport re-routed from the Mottarone following the cable car tragedy on the mountain which killed 14 people. The peloton will then descend to the shores of Lake Maggiore, reaching the town of Stresa before turning west, passing through the first intermediate sprint at Baveno. The third-category Passo della Colma (8.7km at 5.5 per cent) arrives not too long after. The descent away from it leads into Varallo and the start of a dozen kilometres of false flat leading into the second intermediate sprint at Scopetta and, soon after, the foot of the final climb.

At the start of the stage in Abbiategrasso calling the situation "a disaster" and even threatening legal action "I have to say I'm very upset about the way this has happened," he said.  "I think there are going to be some words with lawyers here because I don't think it has been a respectful way to the race and I think there has been no real respect shown to everyone involved on the rest of the stage "We think that there will be consequences because of the behaviour of the riders today I don't think there really are excuses for them not to do it today Whoever brought these proposals needs to show proof it was discussed last night otherwise I will get lawyers involved." The concerns over stage 19 are far from the first rider welfare complaint at the 2020 Giro.  Earlier in the race, riders complained about the state of the race's anti-COVID-19 'bubble' with Jumbo-Visma's Jos Van Emden noting that neutral service police and the general public were mixing with multiple teams in race hotels Stage 4 was marred by a crash at the finish after a RAI television

other institutions concerned have decided to modify the route of stage 19 of the Corsa Rosa," RCS Sport wrote in a statement released on Tuesday The race observed a minute of silence before Monday's stage 16 to honour the 14 victims of the cable car crash with riders starting in Abbiategrasso before travelling northward toward Lago Maggiore but then bypassing the category 1 Mottarone The race will instead travel over the category 4 climb to Gignese (83km) before descending down to Stresa The peloton will then follow the original route with an intermediate sprint in Baveno (107km) a climb over the Passo della Colma (127.4km) another intermediate sprint at Scopetta (151.5km) before finishing at the summit of Alpe di Mera (166km) The route was originally designed to climb over the Mottarone before dropping down into Gignese and then into Stresa along the shores of Lago Maggiore The area is home to a popular cable car that takes tourist passengers from the resort town of Stresa to the top of the Mottarone mountain.  The cable car crash happened about 12:30 p.m Local reports suggest the cable may have failed about 300m (984ft) from the top of the mountain with the cabin
