Colma and San fermo the decisive climbs; Pogacar the clear favourite
With the Giro di Lombardia , the last classic monument of the season, a good part of the Fantacycling championship is decided: fundamental points are up for grabs that will decide your final position.
The Classica delle foglie morte is scheduled to start from Bergamo and, right in the Bergamo area, the riders will tackle the first climbs of the day: Forcellino di Bianzano, Ganda, Colle di Berbenno and Valpiana in quick succession. The group will then head straight towards the Lariano Triangle , where the difficulties that will decide the race are expected with the Ghisallo (easy side), the Colma da Nesso and, in the finale, the San Fermo above Como. The total kilometers expected are 252.
Tadej Pogacar , wearing the new rainbow jersey, looks unbeatable and will also be supported by men like Hirschi, Sivakov, Majka and A.Yates.
The most likely rivals will be Pidcock , Mas and Evenepoel who will try to challenge the Slovenian for a triumph that would be a feat. Other riders who could fight for a podium place are Healy, Jorgenson, Vlasov and Gaudu, while we mention Tiberi, Bagioli, Simon Yates, Powless, Bardet, Skujins and Lipowitz as candidates for a place in the top ten.
