Information

The 'race of the falling leaves', Il Lombardia, closes out the 2025 World Tour one-day races and the bulk of the European calendar with the 119th edition of the race.

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) is expected to return to try to win his fourth edition in a row after his triumphs in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024.

The Il Lombardia 2025 route suits him well, as it is exactly the same course as in 2023.

Il Lombardia history

Il Lombardia was first held in 1905, named Milan-Milan and won by Italian Giovanni Gerbi. Fausto Coppi won the race five times (1946-1949, 1954), surpassing Alfredo Binda's previous record of four wins (1925-1927, 1931). Pogačar could tie Binda this year as the current rider with the most Il Lombardia wins with three.
