Unparalleled Tadej Pogačar solos to record-breaking fifth consecutive victory and 10th Monument title / How it unfolded

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) capped off a spectacular season with another solo triumph to claim a record-tying fifth victory at Il Lombardia – equalling the record of five wins by Fausto Coppi.

Pogačar once again added his name to cycling's history books, becoming the only rider to win Il Lombardia five times in a row and to win twice the world title and the final Italian Monument in the same season.

Information

The 'race of the falling leaves', Il Lombardia, closes out the 2025 World Tour one-day races and the bulk of the European calendar with the 119th 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, 2023 and 2024.

The Il Lombardia 2025 route suits him well, as it is exactly the same course as in 2023.

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.
