Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) will not be taking part in Il Lombardia this year, with his name not appearing on the definitive start list that was published late on Friday evening. In a post on Instagram, Pidcock said that, despite being in good form, he was "deselected" from the roster competing in the final Monument of the season.
The British racer recently impressed in the Giro dell'Emilia by taking second place behind Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) in atrocious weather conditions, and then went on to finish 15th in the Gran Piemonte in the main chasing group behind breakaway Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost).
