Overview

• UAE Team Emirates tightened control before the Passo di Ganda, where Tadej Pogacar attacked with about 36–37 km remaining, caught escapee Quinn Simmons and rode alone to Bergamo.
• Remco Evenepoel placed second at 1:48 back, with Michael Storer third at roughly 3:12.
• The result set a consecutive record at Il Lombardia, eclipsing Fausto Coppi’s non‑sequential five wins and moving Pogacar to 10 Monument victories, behind only Eddy Merckx (19) and Roger De Vlaeminck (11).
• Pogacar is unbeaten at Il Lombardia with five wins in five starts and became the first rider to podium in all five Monuments in a single season.
• The victory capped a year of 20 wins that included the Tour de France, the World Championship and the European title, and Pogacar dedicated the day to retiring teammate Rafal Majka.
