Lombardia
#1
Coming up on Saturday, 10th of October. Giro di Lombardia, autumn classic and the last of five road cycling monuments. For me this has always been the symbolic end of the respective season. Long ride that favors climbers.

Who would you bet on? Valverde has never won this classic. I'll be cheering for him Smile

Roglič looks very solid counting the Tre Valli Varesine victory, although Woods and Valverde had a great battle at Milan-Torino. These three are also the top favorites according to bookies. To make it more fun, I'll bet on Roglič Smile

It's happening! Less than 30 miles to go and the favorites have made their move.

Descend done and some legs must be tired, all the action coming up with groups splitting apart. But oh man, the scenery in Italy and around Lake Como looks stunning! Makes me wonder if I'll ever fly out there over the Atlantic.

Jumbo, Astana and Ineos working in front

All the favorites are together, but there is one problem ... they have let Mollema go :o

Perfect timing with the attack and impressive win
