Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) has ended his breakthrough 2025 season and so will not ride Il Lombardia, preferring to switch off and freshen up before he teams up with Remco Evenepoel in 2026.
The 25-year-old German finished third at the Tour de France behind Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Jonas Vinegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) and won the best young rider's jersey with a determined ride in the final mountain stages as he fought with Oscar Onley (Picnic PostNL) for the final podium spot.
