The 2021 WorldTour season draws to a close on Saturday with the 115th edition of Il Lombardia as 175 riders do battle for one last big win of the year over the hills between Como and Bergamo.

Six major climbs are spread across the 239-kilometre course, including the famous Madonna del Ghisallo, while there's a final sting in the tail in the form of the steep and cobbled Colle Aperto three kilometres from the line.
