After struggling to eat during the six hours of racing at Il Lombardia, 23-year-old Lennert Van Eetvelt (Lotto Dstny) survived cramps to take seventh in just his second Monument appearance. 

The Belgian was completely exhausted at the line in Como, opting to lie straight on the tarmac as he tried to recover after a full gas day in the saddle.
