Another incredible feat by Tadej Pogacar, another page of cycling history written by the world champion. The Slovenian from UAE Emirates XRG conquers his fifth consecutive victory at the Giro di Lombardia, even surpassing a legend like Fausto Coppi.

The race narrative tells of 37 km in a solo breakaway, after excellent teamwork, starting with Rafal Majka, in his final career race. The decisive attack occurred on the Ganda Pass, after Jay Vine's forcing, which only Del Toro, Evenepoel, Storer, and the very young Seixas could resist. At that moment, American champion Quinn Simmons (Lidl Trek) was ahead, a survivor of the breakaway that started right from his initiative.

The first defeated, once again, is Remco Evenepoel who bids farewell to Soudal Quick Step with an excellent performance, unfortunately not matching this world champion who is rewriting cycling history. On the third step of the podium with these two phenomena is Michael Storer from Tudor, who crosses the finish line before the impressive Simmons. The sprint for fifth place is won by Isaac Del Toro, completing the Emirates team's celebration.

On the Italian front, Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) had a good performance in the breakaway with Walter Calzoni (Q36.5 Pro Cycling) and Mattia Bais (Team Polti VisitMalta). The best Italians at the finish of the 119th edition of the Lombardia are Christian Scaroni (XDS Astana) 15th and Davide Piganzoli (Team Polti VisitMalta) 16th.

"This race suits my characteristics perfectly and if I managed to win again, it's thanks to my teammates. For 7 years now, I've been commenting that this was my best season ever, and I can say the same this time. I have no regrets, everything was perfect," are the world champion's hot-off-the-press comments, who is the first to win a Monument five times consecutively and the only one to have won Il Lombardia twice in the world champion jersey.
