It was the 99th edition of the Milan–San Remo monument classic. It was three kilometres longer than 2007, at 298 km, following the addition of the Le Mànie climb, which was due to roadworks along the previously planned route. The race concluded on Lungomare Italo Calvino and not on the traditional Via Roma due to construction and the Easter weekend.http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/news.php?id=news/2008/mar08/mar06news2 'Maniac' enters Milano-San Remo 2008-03-06 2008-03-21 cyclingnews.com Last year's winner Óscar Freire was the favourite with bookmakers, following his recent double stage victory at the Tirreno–Adriatico.https://www.unibet.co.uk/betting/cycling/milano---sanremo%7C1000093233,1000093633.odds Cycling/Milano - San Remo Unibet 2008-03-21 Results CyclistTeamTime1Fabian Cancellara SUI SAX 2008a 7h 14' 35"2Filippo Pozzato ITALIQ 2008 +4"3Philippe Gilbert BELFDJ 2008 s.t.4Davide Rebellin ITAGST 2008 s.t.5Mirco Lorenzetto ITALAM 2008 s.t.6Anthony Geslin FRAEUC 2008 s.t.7Rinaldo Nocentini ITAA2R 2008 s.t.8Óscar Freire ESPRAB 2008 +5"9Thor Hushovd NORC.A 2008 s.t.10Kurt Asle Arvesen NORSAX 2008a s.t.
