What is the 2024 Il Lombardia Route?
Starting in Bergamo and finishing 252 kilometres later in Como this year’s Il Lombardia route is rammed with climbs including the Passo di Ganda at 50 kilometres and then the Colle di Valpiana at 104 kilometres before the race arrives at the legendary Madonna del Ghisallo after 173 kilometres.Â
By now the race will be taking shape and Pogacar may well have already ridden off to win but the final big test comes in the shape of the 13 kilometre Colma di Sormano with ramps as steep as 13%. After this there is one more test, just 5 kilometres before the line, the Fermo della Battaglia.Â

What are the Il Lombardia 2024 predictions?
Tadej Pogacar will win his fourth Il Lombardia in a row, that is the prediction and no one will tell you anything different. It will need an act of god to deny him another win in a race he is making his own and take him up to one shy of the all time record number of wins held by the late great Fausto Coppi who took five.Â
Of course other riders will be dreaming of victory and will take the start line hoping the world champion has a bad day, but incredible as they are Remco Evenepoel, Marc Hirschi, Primoz Roglic and Tom Pidcock are all racing for second place.Â
