Here's another cycling quiz for you trivia fanatics out there, and this time we're talking about Il Lombardia.

The Italian one-day race, known affectionately as the Race of the Falling Leaves, is the fifth and final Monument of the season, and the most important Classic of the Autumn months.

It is also a race steeped in history, with its first edition dating back to 1905, and just two missed races – 1943 and 1944 due to the Second World War – over the 120 years since then.
