Like an open wound that just begs to be picked at, the 2013 edition of Milan San-Remo will forever be viewed as a spectacle.

From mass withdrawals,  a neutralised section, freezing blizzards and frozen riders, not to mention phenomenal riding and a first win at WorldTour level for an African team it really did have it all!

Specialized sponsor 3 teams on the WorldTour and they produced this gem a film showing some of the perverse beauty of the memorable race.

Enjoy – and be grateful it wasn’t you!
