ASIDE FROM PARIS-Roubaix, all of the Monuments are packed with climbs, yet only Il Lombardia could be defined as a climber’s race. Last year’s 253km race packed in almost 5,000m ofmet its match in Pogačar, whose front foot nature and fast finish are perfectly suited to its profile. It’s easy to see Fausto Coppi’s five wins through the 1940s and 50s being surpassed by the time Pogačar calls time on his career.
