Tadej Pogačar delivers historical fourth consecutive victory at Il Lombardia with searing solo attack over Sormano / As it happened

World champion Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) capped off perhaps the greatest cycling season of all time with a fourth Il Lombardia title in a row, producing a stunning 48.4km solo effort to add a second Monument to his Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and World Championship triumphs in 2024.

Pogačar attacked over the Sormano ascent and soloed 48.4km to the finish line in Como, crossing the line 3:16 ahead of solo chaser, Olympic Champion Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) and 4:31 ahead of third-placed Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek).

Information

The 'race of the falling leaves', Il Lombardia, closes out the 2024 World Tour one-day races and the bulk of the European calendar with the 118th edition of the race.

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) is expected to return to try to win his fourth edition in a row after his triumphs in 2021, 2022 and 2023. The Il Lombardia 2024 route suits him well, with the 13-kilometre Colma di Sormano coming with 41km to go.

Il Lombardia history

Il Lombardia was first held in 1905, named Milan-Milan and won by Italian Giovanni Gerbi. Fausto Coppi won the race five times (1946-1949, 1954), surpassing Alfredo Binda's previous record of four wins (1925-1927, 1931). Pogačar could tie Binda this year as the current rider with the most Il Lombardia wins with three.
