Il Lombardia 2018

13.10

Il Lombardia, first held in 1905, is one of cycling’s five Monuments and the traditional finale to the European road season. Often called The Race of the Falling Leaves, it takes place each October in the Lombardy region of northern Italy and is known for its hilly terrain, winding roads and dramatic autumn scenery. The race has long favoured climbers and strong all-rounders, with the legendary Fausto Coppi holding the record of five victories and Tadej Pogačar among its modern greats.
