The cycling world champions applauded by the football world: Brandon McNulty and Remco Evenepoel took to the field today at the Stadio Sinigaglia in Como, just moments before the top-of-the-table Serie A clash between Como and Roma, which ended 0-0 (curiously, the first goalless match of the entire championship).

Accompanied by the new cycling race director at RCS, Luca Guercilena, McNulty and Evenepoel received a personalized Como jersey as a gift and presented the Lariana club with the green jersey symbolizing Il Lombardia.

It is Luca Guercilena himself who comments on the event: "I want to give special thanks to Como, to Brandon and Remco for celebrating with us the 120th edition of Il Lombardia before the home match between Como-Roma just 100 meters from yesterday's finish line. It was a great pleasure for us at RCS Sport to host the world champions of the road race and the time trial. Many thanks also to Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe and UAE Team Emirates XRG for making this event possible".
