Organisers of the final Monument of the season, Il Lombardia, bring the race back to the Colma di Sormano for the first time since Remco Evenepoel's terrifying crash in 2020 - but in the opposite direction to what has been used since the climb was reintroduced to the race in 2012.
On the eve of the event, race organisers were forced to alter the parts of the route and the finish in Como due to heavy rains, landslides and flooding in the area. The Selvino climb will replace the Passo di Ganda (which was removed), and the race will finish in the Viale Felice Cavallotti. The total distance of Il Lombardia presented by Crédit Agricole will be 255km.
