Robbie McEwen can barely bring himself to say it. But the Queenslander knows tonight's Milan-San Remo classic might be his last chance to win one of the "monuments" in cycling.

The 38-year-old Queenslander has achieved so much since turning professional in 1996. Among his victories are 12 stages on the Tour de France and three green points jerseys (one year, he wore it with a broken back), 12 stages of the Giro d'Italia, 14 stages on the Tour Down Under and five wins in the Paris-Brussels classic.

Today Brisbane progressed in its transformation to becoming a new world city by reintroducing the humble bicycle.
