Description
2001 and 2002 a landslide near the locality of Fado on the Passo Turchino closed the road. For the first time in 94 years, the traditional Turchino Pass was not present in the route of Milan-San Remo. The race had to deviate via the Bric Berton, another pass between the inland plains and the coast. The pass is higher and steeper but didn't change the race noticeably.
