Il Lombardia: Tadej Pogačar delivers historical fourth consecutive victory with searing solo attack over Sormano

World champion Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) capped off perhaps the greatest cycling season of all time with a fourth Il Lombardia title in a row, producing a stunning 48.4km solo effort to add a second Monument to his Giro, Tour and Worlds triumphs in 2024.

Resplendent in the rainbow jersey, the Slovenian was led perfectly by his UAE Emirates teammates to the key Colma di Sormano climb after they reeled in a strong 23-man breakaway, before exploding out of last man Pavel Sivakov’s wheel and riding solo to the line.
