Giuliano Pisapia, Mayor of Milan: "Milan-Sanremo is the beginning of the season for the greats of cycling. Every year it reminds me that our city is the Italian capital of two wheels. It’s a 291km-long event in a great sport along a traditional course that always offers great emotions. Therefore, we are proud to have launched the 107th edition at Palazzo Marino with Peter Sagan, Fabian Cancellara and Alexander Kristoff. Great wishes from all Milanese people, may the best man win."		share this photo
World Champion Peter Sagan: "I like this race. I’ve been close to winning it on three occasions. Twice, I wasn’t feeling very well. I’m not sure if I am in the best form of my life after my second place at Tirreno-Adriatico but I’m well. Everything will be decided in the last 30km."		share this photo
Fabian Cancellara: "I prefer this nice weather for racing. It’s been bad in the past few years but it was the same for everyone. The different conditions will make it a new race tomorrow. It’s not a race like others. It’ll be my last time doing Milan-Sanremo. My goal is to do my best. With 300km, it’s the hardest classic to win because there are so many ways to win it. We’ve got a few cards to play. We have [Niccolo] Bonifazio in case of a bunch sprint finish. We know what we want but, after Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico, we know that there are so many protagonists, between attackers, sprinters and so on. Everyone has his own idea for winning. Vincenzo Nibali has his. He’ll have to get rid of the sprinters so how the race unfolds depends on the condition of Greg Van Avermaet, Peter Sagan, Alexander Kristoff, Michael Matthews… As for myself, I’ve already won this race so I don’t feel an extreme pressure to win it again."		share this photo

Alexander Kristoff: "Even though I’m from Norway, I prefer the nice weather. I won this race in really bad conditions two years ago but I still look forward to a sunny Sanremo. If the attackers make the race hard in the hills, I’ll use my team-mates to keep the race together. In the past two years, I had Luca Paolini to guide me in the sprint. It’ll be different this time but I have faith in my team-mates."		share this photo
