Mikel Landa had terrific form at last year's season finale and rode to third at Il Lombardia. He will look to do the same this fall, as Bahrain - Victorious reveal their lineups for the final monument of the season and also Gran Piemonte.
Landa had a disappointing Tour de France however recovered his form and ended up riding to a Top5 at the Vuelta a Espana, showing tremendous form in the final week. He's expected to have kept it and will be an outsider for Il Lombardia, having performed very well last year. He follows a path similar to that of Remco Evenepoel, without being present in the main warm-up races.
