Il Lombardia (The Race of the Falling Leaves)
🚴 UCI
🌍 INT
The final Monument trades pavé for long climbs and technical descents around Lakes Como and Iseo. Icons like Madonna del Ghisallo and, in some editions, the Muro di Sormano shape the race before a finale that alternates between Como and Bergamo year to year.
Climbers with descending skill and patience excel.
The decisive move typically launches on the penultimate climb or descent, with small time gaps proving insurmountable on the fast run‑in to the finish.
