For Tadej Pogacar as well, the Giro di Lombardia will be the last race of the year, and the Slovenian can't wait to race and win wearing the world champion jersey. The world champion has had one of his best seasons, conquering 19 victories. "Obviously, the Lombardy is the last Monument Classic of the year and the last race of my season" - Pogacar said - "It is one of my great objectives in this final block of races. The form is good, the legs are good, the team is strong, so I can't wait to race".

The Slovenian has practically won all the most important races this 2025, reconfirming himself as the strongest rider in the world. We have seen him dominate the season from the beginning and, with the exception of some sporadic placements, he has always stood on the top step of the podium. He conquered the Tour de France and also the world champion and European champion titles, and he made Liège-Bastogne-Liège and the Tour of Flanders his own, and now he could conquer another Monument Classic. Today Pogi will start as the big favorite: if he wins, he would bring to 5 the number of consecutive Giri di Lombardia won, starting from the first in 2021, continuing with the victories in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

"This season has been truly extraordinary in all aspects for the team. I feel lucky to be part of this special group and hope we can continue like this this weekend and in the future".

UAE Emirates is the team with the most victories in the World Tour and so far has obtained 92 successes, while in 2024 the victories were 81 and in 2023 they were 57. Pogacar is satisfied and today wants to win again to seal an exciting season, where day after day, he has shown himself to be unbeatable.
