S14 Ep14: Arrivée: Milano-Sanremo (Women)

Join Rose Manley and Rebecca Charlton as they kick off the spring series of Arrivée episodes with the second edition of the revived Milano-Sanremo.

Whether you’re a Milano Sanremo stan or a Milano Sanremo can’t-stand-it, you’ll want to listen to this Arrivée episode covering the women’s race.

With a couple of big names not making it to the startline, the race to the Via Roma looked to be turned on its head. Crashes, breakaways and fierce battles on the Cipressa and Poggio all came into play in a dramatic 2026 edition, only the second ever official Milan-Sanremo for the women.

Can Lorena Wiebes take the pressure and defend her title? Will Kasia Niewiadoma the story of her season with a win? Might Lotte Kopecky find an opportunity for herself?

Find out exactly what certainly did and what certainly could have happened as Rose and Rebecca take you through the race.
