The '''Giro di Lombardia''' ({{lang-en|'''Tour of Lombardy'''}}), officially '''''Il Lombardia''''', is a [[cycling race]] in [[Lombardy]], [[Italy]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Giro di Lombardia 2012|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/giro-di-lombardia-2012/|website=[[cyclingnews.com]]|date=29 September 2012|access-date=26 September 2016}}</ref> It is traditionally the last of the five '[[Cycling monument|Monuments]]' of the season, considered to be one of the most prestigious one-day events in cycling, and one of the last events on the [[UCI World Tour]] calendar. Nicknamed the ''Classica delle foglie morte'' ("the Classic of the falling (dead) leaves"), it is the most important [[Classic cycle races#Fall.2Fautumn classics|Autumn Classic]] in cycling. The race's most famous climb is the [[Madonna del Ghisallo]] in the race finale.

The first edition was held in 1905. Since its creation, the Giro di Lombardia has been the classic with the fewest interruptions in cycling; only the editions of 1943 and 1944 were cancelled for reasons of war. Italian [[Fausto Coppi]] won a record five times.

Because of its demanding course, the race is considered a ''[[climbing specialist|climbers]] classic'', favouring climbers with strong descending skills and a strong sprint finish.

==History==

===Milan–Milan===
The Tour of Lombardy was created as an idea of journalist [[Tullo Morgagni]]. Morgagni wanted to give Milanese rider [[Pierino Albini]] the opportunity to take revenge for his defeat against [[Giovanni Cuniolo]] in the short-lived ''Italian King's Cup''. His newspaper la [[Gazzetta dello Sport]] organized a new race as a 'rematch' on 12 November 1905, called ''Milano–Milano''. The race attracted vast crowds along the course and ended in Milan with the victory of [[Giovanni Gerbi]], at the time one of the stars of cycling. Gerbi won the race 40 minutes ahead of [[Giovanni Rossignoli]] and [[Luigi Ganna]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gazzetta.it/Speciali/GrandiClassiche/2005/St_lombardia.html|title=History of the Giro di Lombardia|work=gazzetta.it}}</ref>

[[File:Henri Pélissier, vainqueur au sprint du Tour de Lombardie en 1911.jpg|thumb|left|Frenchman [[Henri Pélissier]] won the [[1911 Giro di Lombardia]] in the sprint.]]
The race soon became a fixture as the closing race of the Italian and European cycling season. It was renamed ''Giro di Lombardia'' in 1907. After the pioneering years, the race was dominated alternately by Frenchman [[Henri Pélissier]] and local heroes [[Gaetano Belloni]] and [[Costante Girardengo]], all winning the race three times.

===Race of the Champions===
[[File:Fausto Coppi, Tour de France 1952 01 (cropped).jpg|thumb|upright|Record winner [[Fausto Coppi]] won the race five times between [[1946 Giro di Lombardia|1946]] and [[1954 Giro di Lombardia|1954]].]]
From the 1930s to the 1950s, [[Alfredo Binda]], [[Gino Bartali]] and [[Fausto Coppi]], icons of Italian cycling, were the main protagonists and immortalized the race with their exploits. Coppi won the race 5 times (of which 4 consecutive wins) and Binda 4 times. Coppi finished solo on every win, following a successful strategy of attacking on the [[Madonna del Ghisallo]] and maintaining his lead to the finish in Milan. Gino Bartali was the king of the podium with 9 top-3 finishes (3 wins, 4 second places and 2 third places).

The race of 1956 was a particularly fascinating battle. At 60&nbsp;km from the finish a breakaway was formed with [[Fausto Coppi]], seeking his sixth victory. Italian rider [[Fiorenzo Magni]] had missed the break, and as he fell further behind, a car passed him with [[Giulia Occhini]], Coppi's infamous mistress, sitting in the back. The two did not get on and as her car passed, Magni saw her sneer at him. Infuriated, Magni set out in an improbable solo pursuit of the breakaway and caught the leaders in the final kilometres. He and Coppi openly argued and [[André Darrigade]], sensing their indecisiveness, attacked to claim the victory, thereby relegating Coppi and Magni to second and third place.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingrevealed.com/timeline/Race%20Snippets/Lombardia/GdL1956.htm|title=Cycling Revealed Timeline|work=cyclingrevealed.com}}</ref>

In 1961, the finish of the Tour of Lombardy was moved from Milan to Como and the identity of the race changed fundamentally. The previous flat finale towards the finish in Milan was replaced with a spectacular finish by [[Lake Como]], just 6&nbsp;km after the top of the last climb. Despite an occasional return to finishing in Milan, the race had developed a new personality, defined by a series of arduous climbs amid a mountainous scenery.<ref name="dailypeloton.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.dailypeloton.com/displayarticle.asp?pk=15841|title=Daily Peloton - Pro Cycling News|work=dailypeloton.com|access-date=2015-05-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303230411/http://www.dailypeloton.com/displayarticle.asp?pk=15841|archive-date=2016-03-03|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Over the years the race has been dominated mainly by Italian riders. Frenchman [[Henri Pelissier]] and Ireland's [[Sean Kelly (cyclist)|Sean Kelly]] were the only non-Italian riders to win the race three times. Cycling legend [[Eddy Merckx]] won three consecutive victories from 1971 to 1973, but his last win was stripped after a positive doping test and awarded to second-place finisher [[Felice Gimondi]].<ref name="LS 73 GiL">{{cite news|author=Gianni Pignata|url=http://www.archiviolastampa.it/component/option,com_lastampa/task,search/mod,libera/action,viewer/Itemid,3/page,19/articleid,1118_01_1973_0264_0019_16216471/|title=Merckx, doping nel "Lombardia"|language=it|date=9 November 1973|page=19|newspaper=La Stampa|publisher=Editrice La Stampa|access-date=27 May 2012|trans-title=Merckx, doping in "Lombardia"}}</ref>

The race of 1974 gave birth to another memorable anecdote. Eddy Merckx wanted to get his revenge, but fellow Belgian [[Roger De Vlaeminck]] attacked early in the race, inducing Merckx to make his team work in pursuit. De Vlaeminck, not really intending to go solo, stopped and hid behind a bush to let the peloton pass. He rode back to the front of the peloton and jokingly asked a baffled Merckx whom they were chasing. De Vlaeminck won the race ahead of Merckx.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sporza.be/cm/sporza/videozone/retro/Retro_Ronde-Van-Lombardije/1.2107710|title=sporza video: Roger De Vlaeminck klopt Eddy Merckx in de Ronde van Lombardije (1974)|work=sporza|access-date=2015-05-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304132315/http://sporza.be/cm/sporza/videozone/retro/Retro_Ronde-Van-Lombardije/1.2107710|archive-date=2016-03-04|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===The Autumn Classic===
For nearly 70 years the race was called ''"il Mondiale d'Autunno"'' in Italy ("the World Championship of Autumn"), as the real [[UCI Road World Championships|World Championship]] was held at the end of summer. It lost this particular role in 1995 when the UCI revolutionized the international cycling calendar and moved the World Championship from August to October, one week before the Giro di Lombardia.

From 1988 to 2004 the Tour of Lombardy was the final leg of the [[UCI Road World Cup]] and was often the decisive race in that competition. In 1997 [[Michele Bartoli]] needed to finish ahead of [[Rolf Sørensen]] in the race to be the winner of the 1997 World Cup. For 30&nbsp;km he did solo work in a four-man breakaway, so sacrificing his chances to win the sprint. The edition was won by Frenchman [[Laurent Jalabert]], Bartoli finished fourth and won the World Cup.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.autobus.cyclingnews.com/results/archives/oct97/lombardy97.html |title=Archived copy |access-date=2015-05-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304075139/http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/results/archives/oct97/lombardy97.html |archive-date=2016-03-04 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

[[File:Tour de France 2015, nibali (20036329916).jpg|thumb|left|[[Vincenzo Nibali]] won the [[2015 Giro di Lombardia|2015]] and [[2017 Giro di Lombardia]].]]
The race had become the most important ''Autumn Classic'' together with [[Paris–Tours]] in France, which was mainly won by sprinters or escapees. By the early 21st century however, [[Paris–Tours]] lost its status as a [[UCI World Tour|World Tour]] race, and the Tour of Lombardy was the one remaining major [[Classic cycle races|Classic]] in autumn, the only Monument in the latter part of the year. [[Damiano Cunego]] imposed himself as the ''Lord of Lombardy'' with three victories.

In [[2006 Giro di Lombardia|2006]], the race celebrated its 100th edition, won by [[Paolo Bettini]], one week after becoming world champion. The edition was particularly emotional because Bettini's brother had died in a car accident just five days before the race, and the Italian was overcome with emotion when he crossed the finish line.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/bettinis-brother-dies|title=Bettini's brother dies|author=Cycling News|work=Cyclingnews.com|date=3 October 2006}}</ref> Bettini is one of seven riders to win the Tour of Lombardy after becoming world champion earlier the same year. The other six are [[Alfredo Binda]], [[Tom Simpson]], [[Eddy Merckx]], [[Felice Gimondi]], [[Giuseppe Saronni]] and [[Oscar Camenzind]].

Since 2012 both the World Championship and the Giro di Lombardia have a new, earlier date on the calendar at the end of September, and the name officially became ''Il Lombardia''. It was the beginning of a remarkable revival for the Monument race. The Tour of Lombardy is now the classic ''par excellence'' for riders to take revenge for the world championship or to achieve an "''Autumn Double'' win". In recent years [[Philippe Gilbert]], [[Joaquim Rodríguez]] and [[Vincenzo Nibali]] all won the race twice.

==Route==
[[File:Madonna del Ghisallo.jpg|thumb|Church of "Madonna del Ghisallo".]]
Like most of cycling's classics, the route has developed over the years, and the Tour of Lombardy has undergone more changes than any other cycling [[Classic cycle races|monument]]. Since the 1960s it has been notable for its hilly and varied course around [[Lake Como]], to the northeast of [[Milan]], with a flat finish in one of the cities on the shores of the lake.

Its signature symbol is the climb of the [[Madonna del Ghisallo]], one of the iconic [[sanctuary|sanctuaries]] in cycling. The climb starts near [[Bellagio, Lombardy|Bellagio]] at the shore of the Como Lake, and heads up until the church of Madonna del Ghisallo (754&nbsp;m), the [[patron saint|patroness]] of cyclists. Over the years, it has become indelibly linked with the race and with cycling in general. It was the favourite climb of cycling greatnesses Fausto Coppi and Gino Bartali, who immortalized it. The church also serves as a museum containing religious and cycling-related objects.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.museodelghisallo.it|title=Museo del Ghisallo}}</ref>

===Course changes===
Originally the Tour of Lombardy was raced from Milan to Milan, and like many cycling classics, climbs were gradually introduced to the course, in a bid to make the race more demanding. In 1961, the finish was moved to [[Como]] and the character of the race changed fundamentally. The long and flat run-in to the finish in Milan was abandoned; in its place came a mountainous lake-side finish, just 6&nbsp;km from the top of the last climb. The route usually has some changes every year, sometimes a complete restyling, only to be altered again the next edition.

[[File:Giro lombardia 2008.svg|thumb|230px|Route of the [[2008 Giro di Lombardia|2008]] edition]]
From 1984 to 1989 the finish returned to [[Milan]] and in 1990 to its suburb [[Monza]], inviting attackers for long-distance breakaways. From 1995 to 2003 the finish was in [[Bergamo]], with the [[Colle del Gallo]] (Col Gàl in [[Bergamasque dialect|Bergamasque]]) as the last climb of the day. The Colle del Gallo, with its sanctuary of the ''Madonna dei ciclisti'' at the top, often proved to be decisive.

In 2004, after twenty years, the finish returned to the lakefront in Como, with the short but steep [[San Fermo della Battaglia]] climb just before the arrival. The [[2010 Giro di Lombardia|2010 edition]] saw the re-introduction of the [[Muro di Sormano]], a spectacular climb with a maximum gradient of 27%, which replaced the Civiglio after the Ghisallo.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/muro-di-sormano-returns-to-tour-of-lombardy-route|title=Muro di Sormano returns to Tour of Lombardy route|work=Cycling News|publisher=Future Publishing Limited|date=31 July 2012|access-date=23 September 2012}}</ref><ref>[https://www.ilombardia.it/it/notizie-gf/salite-da-leggenda-il-muro-di-sormano/ Gazzetta dello Sport. Giro di Lombardia.]</ref>

In 2011 the route was fully renewed, with a first-time finish in [[Lecco]]. The Sormano was included again, but was climbed before the Ghisallo. After the Ghisallo, a flat stretch led to the final climb of the race: the steep [[Villa Vergano]] in [[Galbiate]]. After the descent only 3&nbsp;km remained until the finish in Lecco. The 3,4&nbsp;km climb of Villa Vergano was the decisive site in the [[2011 Giro di Lombardia|2011]] and [[2012 Giro di Lombardia|2012]] edition.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/new-giro-di-lombardia-route-unveiled|title=New Giro di Lombardia route unveiled|author=Stephen Farrand|work=Cyclingnews.com|date=21 September 2011}}</ref>

In 2014 the finish was moved to Bergamo. Organizer [[RCS Sport|RCS]] announced that from 2014 to 2017 the finish of the Tour of Lombardy will alternate between Bergamo and Como.

===Race characteristics===
The Giro di Lombardia is considered a [[climbing specialist|climbers]] classic and one of the most arduous races of the season, because of its distance (ca. 255&nbsp;km) and several famous climbs. Nowadays the route usually features five or six significant climbs. The best-known of them is the [[Madonna del Ghisallo]], one of the few fixed locations of the race. The climb is 10,6 kilometres long, with an average gradient of 5.2% and stretches of over 10%.

[[File:Il Lombardia 2015 profile.svg|left|thumb|Profile of the [[2015 Il Lombardia|2015 Tour of Lombardy]]]]
Because the race usually has a downhill or flat run-in to the finish, the main contenders are riders with a broad range of skills. As such, the course favours climbers with a strong sprint finish and even [[Grand Tour (cycling)|Grand Tour]] specialists. [[Individual time trial|Time trial]] specialist [[Tony Rominger]] won the Tour of Lombardy twice in the 1990s and [[Tour de France]] winner [[Vincenzo Nibali]] won the [[2015 Il Lombardia|2015 edition]] after a downhill attack on the penultimate descent.<ref name=cn-report>{{cite news|last1=O'Shea|first1=Sadhbh|title=Nibali wins Il Lombardia|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/il-lombardia-2015/results/|access-date=6 October 2015|work=[[Cyclingnews.com]]|publisher=[[Immediate Media Company]]|date=4 October 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Wynn|first1=Nigel|title=Watch: Vincenzo Nibali's amazing descending in Il Lombardia|url=http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/watch-vincenzo-nibalis-amazing-descending-in-il-lombardia-video-194136|access-date=6 October 2015|work=[[Cycling Weekly]]|publisher=[[Time Inc.

Both classics have a similar hilly course and show a similar [[Glossary of cycling#P|palmarès]] since the 1960s, but are different in character. The hills in [[Lombardy]] are usually longer than those in the Belgian [[Ardennes]] and are more spread out over the course. Liège–Bastogne–Liège has 12 categorized climbs, usually shorter and steeper, coming in faster succession than in the Tour of Lombardy, and has an uphill-finish.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.irishpeloton.com/2015/03/the-hardest-monument-classic/|title=The Hardest Monument Classic » Irish Peloton|work=irishpeloton.com|date=19 March 2015 }}</ref>

[[File:Bellagio 2.jpg|right|thumb|Panoramic view of [[Lake Como]] with [[Bellagio, Lombardy|Bellagio]] at the foot of the [[Madonna del Ghisallo|Ghisallo]]]]
Because of its position in autumn as one of the last classics of the year, the race is commonly nicknamed the ''Race of the Falling Leaves''. Consequently, the weather repeatedly plays a decisive role in the nature of the race. In bad weather - common to mountainous Lombardy - the race is often a grueling contest where the strongest riders attack well ahead of the finish. The editions of [[2006 Giro di Lombardia|2006]], [[2010 Giro di Lombardia|2010]], and [[2012 Giro di Lombardia|2012]] were exceptionally rainy. In 2010 [[Philippe Gilbert]] and [[Michele Scarponi]] attacked with 40&nbsp;km to go; Gilbert distanced Scarponi on the [[San Fermo della Battaglia]] and won the race. In 2012 Gilbert crashed on a wet descent.

When the weather conditions are good, teams are able to control the race more easily and decisive attacks come later in the race. On sunny days, the leaves on the trees typically blaze a golden trail around Lombardy, and TV coverage displays extensive aerial footage of the scenery around the Como Lake. The Italian press, never shy to introduce a poetic epithet, has also coined the phrase ''The Romantic Classic'' to denote the race.<ref name="dailypeloton.com"/>

==Trittico di Autunno==
{{Main|Trittico di Autunno}}
The Trittico di Autunno ''(Autumn [[Triptych]])'' is an unofficial trio of cycling classics held in the [[Lombardy]] and [[Piedmont]] regions of [[Northern Italy]], in early October. Three one-day races, Milano–Torino, the [[Giro del Piemonte]] (Tour of Piedmont) and the Tour of Lombardy, are held within a four-day timeframe in the week following the [[UCI Road World Championships|World Championship]]. Milan-Turin is held on the Thursday after the World Championship, the Giro del Piemonte on Friday and the Tour of Lombardy is the closing race on Sunday. The Tour of Lombardy is the pinnacle, the hardest and  unequivocally most important race of this unofficial trio.

All three races have a rich history, dating back more than a century. [[Milano–Torino|Milan-Turin]], with its first running in 1876, is the oldest classic in the world, three decades older than the Tour of Lombardy. Until 1986, and again from 2005 to 2007, Milan-Turin was organized in the spring. Since 1987 the three races are held as an "Autumn Trio", initially mid-October and since 2012 two weeks earlier. Both Milan-Turin and the Giro del Piemonte have suffered some continuity problems in the past, but are on back on the calendar of 2015.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.agoravox.it/Vogliono-cancellare-la-corsa.html|title=Vogliono cancellare la corsa ciclistica più antica del mondo|language=it|editor=agoravox|access-date=1 October 2014}}</ref> For many, particularly Italian riders, Milan-Turin and the Giro del Piemonte (both 200-km races) are the ultimate races to prepare for the Tour of Lombardy.

==Milan–San Remo and Tour of Lombardy Double==
The Tour of Lombardy is one of five [[Classic cycle races|Monuments]] in cycling, one of two Italian Monuments together with [[Milan–San Remo]]. Milan–San Remo is called the ''Spring Classic'' and considered a sprinters race, whereas the Tour of Lombardy is called the ''Autumn Classic'' and considered a climbers race. In total, 21 riders have won both races at least once in their career. Following [[Paolo Bettini]], the most recent one to do this was [[Vincenzo Nibali]] who won the ''Primavera'' in [[2018 Milan–San Remo|2018]] and the Tour of Lombardy in [[2015 Giro di Lombardia|2015]] and [[2017 Giro di Lombardia|2017]].

Winning Milan–San Remo and the Tour of Lombardy in the same year is considered as something of a "holy grail" in Italian cycling, dubbed by Italian press as ''La Doppietta'' (The Double).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.museociclismo.it/content/articoli/7368-19-marzo-1952---Milano-Sanremo/index.html|title=19 marzo 1952 - Milano-Sanremo|work=museociclismo.it}}</ref> Seven riders have achieved this feat, on ten occasions. [[Fausto Coppi]] did it three consecutive times, [[Eddy Merckx]] is the last rider as yet.

===Tripletta===
Even rarer is the combination of winning all three of [[Italy]]'s great cycling races, Milan–San Remo, the Tour of Lombardy and the [[Giro d'Italia]] in one year. This ''[[Triple Crown of Cycling|Italian Treble]]'' happened twice:

* 1949: {{flagathlete|[[Fausto Coppi]]|ITA}}
* 1972: {{flagathlete|[[Eddy Merckx]]|BEL}}
