The last race of the World Tour was again a treat for Slovenian cycling fans. The Slovenians were even in the foreground of the race, tailoring the race from start to finish. Domen Novak Lojz was first among the ten fugitives . They were caught only before the penultimate slope, when Tadej Pogačar decided to attack.
) Suicide on meals is called a solo escape 35 kilometers before the finish line and two or three slopes before the finish line. But Tadej Pogačar is not from this world and, in addition to winning the race in France again, he celebrated at his second cycling monument this year.
Crazy … I have no words , it’s in the goal first stated by Pogačar. This was followed by a treatment of escape and fear of Faust Masnado. But, he succeeded, just as he has been succeeding all along. Tadej Pogača r is the best cyclist in the world and today he confirmed it once again.
Primož Roglič was close, he finished in a thankless fourth place after overtook Adam Yates in the sprint. He did even better because he had already fallen off the pursuers on the last slope. As we are used to, Roglič regenerates incredibly quickly and we would soon have two compatriots on the podium.
Fausto Coppi, Eddy Mercx in Tadej Pogačar are the only three to win the Tour and Lombardy in the same year. Tadej Pogačar won 13 races this year, Primož Roglič won this year 13. dirkah!

14:20 Today we will witness the Belgian showdown under fallen leaves. If the cyclist from the Deceuninc Quick Step team does not win, it will be a small or big disaster. They only have one monument in their pocket this year, not enough for such a team, which is made precisely because of five monuments. And who are they most afraid of? Roglič. The answer is clear, Rogla is in life form. The highlight of the day will be watching the Belgian team perform. Recall, last year in this race, Evenepoel crashed terribly from the bridge into the depths and was badly injured. He wants to win today. If this is not a miraculous comeback. He has been on crutches all autumn and half of winter, but today he wants to win.

The first Lombardy was already in 1905, today it is the turn of the 115th implementation. Last year the Dane Jakob Fuglsang celebrated, this year the main favorites are two: Primož Roglič and Tadej Pogačar.
There will be many good cyclists at the start, who are either saving the season or they are so hot that they want to race to the last victory. This year’s Lombardy does not have a traditional destination in Como, but in Bergamo. Today’s route is supposed to be easier because there is no terrible slope Sormano in between. The famous slope to Ghisallo is also at the very beginning of the race at the 39th kilometer. However, they will have to overcome eight slopes and 4,500 altitude meters.
Teams that do not have distinct riders to win will certainly try to escape. It is clear to everyone that it is not good to reach the final kilometers with Pogačar, Roglič and Alaphilipp, which are perfect for all four Slovenes, as the slope is 1.3 kilometers long just over four kilometers before the finish line. The finish is also written on Mohorič’s leg, as he is a master of descents, and if he comes first to the top of the last slope, he has a lot of chances for a great result. Jan Polanc can always surprise.
