With a distance of 298&nbsp;km (~185.2 miles) it is the longest  professional one-day race in modern cycling. It is the first major [[Classic cycle races|classic]] race of the season, usually held on the third Saturday of March. The first edition was held in [[1907 Milan–San Remo|1907]].<ref name="Storia" >{{cite web |title=Storia della Milano-Sanremo |url=http://www.gazzetta.it/Speciali/GrandiClassiche/2005/St_milano-sanremo.html |website=[[La Gazzetta dello Sport]] |publisher=[[RCS MediaGroup]] |access-date=17 March 2015 |language=it}}</ref> It is traditionally the first of the five ''[[Cycling monument|Monuments]]'' of the season, considered to be one of the most prestigious one-day events in cycling. 

The [[Rallye Sanremo]] is a [[Rallying|rally]] competition held in [[Sanremo]], [[Italy]]. Except for the 1995 event, the event was part of the [[FIA]] [[World Rally Championship]] schedule from [[1973 World Rally Championship|1973]] to the [[2003 World Rally Championship|2003]]. It was a round of the [[Intercontinental Rally Challenge]] and is currently a round of the [[Italian national rally championship]]. The first "Rallye Internazionale di Sanremo" was held in 1928. The rally name's [[French language|French]] word "rallye", as opposed to [[Italian language|Italian]] "rally", was inspired by [[Rallye Automobile Monte Carlo]]. After another successful rally in 1929, the event was given to new organisers who decided to set up a street race through the town of Sanremo instead. The first one, 1° Circuito Automobilistico Sanremo, was held in 1937 and won by [[Achille Varzi]]. Rallye Sanremo was restarted in 1961 as Rallye dei Fiori ("Rally of the Flowers") and has been held every year since.<ref>{{cite web | title=Una storia quasi ottantennale (PDF) | work=Automobile Club Sanremo | url=http://www.acisanremo.it/rallysanremo/2006/albo.pdf | access-date=2007-02-09 | language=it}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref>
