Twisty Ligurian tarmac with long climbs and descents defined this IRC classic. Andreucci held off Juho Hänninen and Kris Meeke to take a celebrated home win.


Route

Night Leg: Traditional evening stages added drama and tire wear complexity.
Colle d’Oggia & Colle Langan: Signature mountain passes with tight hairpins.
Urban Super Special: Short, high-energy loop through Sanremo streets.

Stages in the Maritime Alps offered narrow switchbacks and variable grip.

Weather changes at altitude often split tire strategies in the field.
