The 2021 Milano–Torino was the 102nd edition of the Milano–Torino cycling classic. It was held on 6 October 2021 as part of the 2021 UCI Europe Tour and the 2021 UCI ProSeries calendars.[1]

After the previous edition's route favoured the sprinters, the race returned to a more hilly route that favoured the climbers, despite being mostly flat. The 190km (120miles) race started in Magenta on the outskirts of Milan and headed due southwest, though after around, the route took a nearly 100km (100miles) U-shaped diversion to the north from Vercelli, which included the Zimone and Cossano Canavese hills midway through, before continuing the southwest direction from Crescentino. In the final, riders took on two ascents of the Superga hill, which had an average gradient of 9.1 percent, on the outskirts of Turin. The first ascent was long, and after descending back down into San Mauro Torinese, riders took on the second ascent, which climbed up a further to the finish line.[2]

Teams

15 of the 19 UCI WorldTeams and eight UCI ProTeams made up the 23 teams that participated in the race.[3] Each team entered a full squad of seven riders, although had one non-starter. Of the 160 riders who started the race, 109 finished, while a further two riders finished outside of the time limit.[4] [5]
