Overview
- Tadej Pogacar attacked on the Passo di Ganda with about 38km remaining, caught lone leader Quinn Simmons, then soloed to the finish in Bergamo.
- He won by 1 minute 48 seconds over Remco Evenepoel, with Michael Storer third, extending a run of long-range solo wins in one-day races.
- The result delivered a fifth consecutive Lombardy title, matching Fausto Coppi’s all-time tally while setting an unmatched streak of successive wins in the race.
- Pogacar became the first man since Eddy Merckx in 1975 to win three Monuments in a single season, while also completing podiums in all five Monuments this year.
- UAE Team Emirates-XRG controlled the race before his move, with key support from riders including Jay Vine, Isaac del Toro and Adam Yates, as Pogacar closed a season that also featured a fourth Tour de France and successful defenses of world and European road titles.
