That year was the first year the Cipressa climb was included in the race. Race organiser Vincenzo Torriani had decided the race needed to be harder, requiring another climb in its final stages. The race From the beginning of the race a group of about 20 riders attacked, instigated by Claudio Bortolotto. By the time the race reached the bottom of the Cipressa there were only Gomez, Bortolotto and Alain Bondue left in the breakaway with an advantage of seven minutes. Gomez then attacked on the Cipressa gaining the summit a handful of seconds ahead of the other two, Bondue managed to bridge the gap while Bortolotto tired and was eventually caught by the group containing the race favourites Francesco Moser and Moreno Argentin. Bondue let Gomez lead up the Poggio (the final climb) as he knew that Gomez would have to drop him in order to win. On the technical descent of the Poggio, Bondue slipped, allowing Gomez to get a gap, this only proved decisive after Bondue slipped again. As he rode down the Via Roma in San Remo he received muted applause from the Italian tifosi that had surely been waiting for an Italian winner.Classic Races Milan-San Remo 1982 June 2010 Issue Cycle Sport Magazine Results Final general classificationhttp://www.milansanremo.co.uk/1982result.htm Milan San Remo 1982 result milansanremo.co.uk 6 December 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20150324231507/http://www.milansanremo.co.uk/1982result.htm 24 March 2015http://www.les-sports.info/cyclisme-sur-route-milan-san-remo-resultats-1982-epr9352.html Milan - San Remo 1982 LesSports.info 6 December 2017http://firstcycling.com/race.php?r=4&y=1982 1982 Milano - Sanremo First Cycling 6 December 2017http://www.wvcycling.com/en/race/37/result/1982/ Milano-Sanremo WVCycling 6 December 2017 Rank Rider Team Time 1 Marc Gomez FRA Wolber–Spidel 1982 7h 04' 12" 2 Alain Bondue FRA La Redoute 1982 +10" 3 Moreno Argentin ITA Sammontana (cycling team 1981-1986) Sammontana ca Sammontana (equip ciclista 1981-1986) +2' 01" 4 Francesco Moser ITA Famcucine (cycling team) Famcucine ca Famcucine (equip ciclista) s.t. 5 Tommy Prim SWE BIA 1982 s.t. 6 Claudio Bortolotto ITA DEL 1982 s.t. 7 Silvano Contini ITA BIA 1982 s.t. 8 Patrick Versluys BEL Boule d'Or 1982a +2' 42" 9 Leo van Vliet NED TIR 1982 +3' 35" 10 Walter Delle Case ITA ATA 1982 s.t.
