Il Lombardia 2021
The 2021 Il Lombardia is a one-day road cycling race that will take place on October 09, 2021, in the Italian region of Lombardy. The fifth of cycling’s five Monuments is the last renowned European race of the season. Given the time of year, Il Lombardia has been nicknamed the Classica delle foglie morte (the Classic of the falling (dead) leaves). It will be part of the UCI World Tour and the 115th edition of Il Lombardia.
The race was first held in 1905 and is regarded as one of cycling's most famous one-day races, as well as the most significant Autumn Classic.
The Route
The course consists of a single day-long stage that covers around 250 kilometers. The Tour of Lombardy, like most cycling classics, has evolved, with the Tour of Lombardy undergoing more alterations than any other cycling monument. It is known for its steep and diverse route around Lake Como, northeast of Milan, culminating in a flat finish in one of the lake's cities.
The race kicks off in Como, and the climb begins at Bellagio on the Como Lake's shore and continues up to the church of Madonna del Ghisallo (754m), the patroness of cyclists. It has grown completely associated with race and cycling in general throughout the years. The church also works as a museum, with religious and cycling-related artifacts on display. The Colle del Gallo (Col Gàl in Bergamasque) is the final hill of the day, bringing the race to an end in Bergamo. The Colle del Gallo, with its Madonna dei ciclisti shrine at the summit, is often decisive.
