Pogačar, Evenepoel and the remainder of the sector are within the neutralised zone and can start racing quickly.
A 3rd victory for Pogačar can be removed from easy, nonetheless, as he’s up in opposition to a high quality roster. Particularly, Remco Evenepoel poses a critical menace. We had been denied the prospect to see the 2 riders showdown earlier this 12 months at Liège–Bastogne–Liège when Pogačar crashed out, and the way in which Evenepoel obliterated the remainder of the sector that day strengthened simply how good he’s at hilly classics like these.
Chief amongst them is Tadej Pogačar. The Slovenian is gunning for his third successive victory at this race, a feat solely beforehand achieved by Fausto Coppi and Alfredo Binda. In truth, having solely made his debut in 2021, he’s as but unbeaten at Il Lombardia.
It’s time for the fifth and remaining monument of the season. It is likely to be October, and the low season imminent, however there are a number of very huge names all taking this race very significantly.
Howdy and welcome to Cyclingnews’ stay protection of Il Lombardia!
