This prestigious one-day showdown is the crown jewel of the Italian autumn classics and the final Monument of the season.
This year’s race will be the 120th edition of the event, continuing a tradition that began in 1905 and has run almost completely interrupted, and there will be a new champion for the first time since 2020.
Why is that?
It’s because Slovenian superstar Tadej Pogačar, who won Il Lombardia five consecutive times from 2021-2025, will miss this year’s race while recovering from surgery.
Pogačar suffered a season-ending crash at the Vuelta España 2026 in August/September and will not be back to defend his title this week in Italy.
The field still is loaded with talent, including 2026 road race world champion Brandon McNulty, young French standout Paul Seixas and Belgian Remco Evenepoel, who finished second behind Pogačar in 2024 and 2025.
