The 2023 Il Lombardia will be held between Como and Bergamo on a similar route to the 2021 edition when Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) won for the first time, with the Slovenian expected to clash with Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) in the Bergamo hills. 

This year’s ‘Race of the falling leaves’ will be held on Saturday, October 7 and remember Bergamo’s greatest ever rider Felice Gimondi, who died in 2019.
