Profiles & Route Il Lombardia 2024

On Saturday, October the 12th, the last Monument of the 2024 season will take place at Il Lombardia, which this year will be somewhat less hard than in previous years and will have a route starting in Bergamo and finishing in Como, recovering some mythical climbs such as Madonna del Ghisallo and Colma di Sormano.

Thus, the Giro di Lombardia 2024 will, as always, be plagued with mountainous difficulties although, as we say, it will not be as hard as in the last campaigns in which Tadej Pogacar has practically walked. The first difficulty will be Forcellino di Bianzano at km 30, immediately followed by Ganda, Colle di Berbenno and Valpiana in the first 100 kilometres of a very hard race.

After a little more than 50 kilometres practically flat, from kilometre 157 we reach the final part of the course where the race will probably be decided. The cyclists will have to face Sella di Osigo and Madonna del Ghisallo consecutively before tackling a descent to the very hard Colma di Sormano, which is crowned 42 kilometres from the finish line. From there to the finish, downhill until facing the climb that will decide the race if no one has been able to break it before: San Fermo della Battaglia, whose summit takes place 5.2 km from a finish in Como reached after a very fast descent.

Spectacular route, as always, not as hard as other years, we insist, but it will remain only suitable for climbers or classicists who are very well adapted to the climbs and walls of enormous difficulty. A monument that will not disappoint once again to close another World Tour year, but will Tadej Pogacar have a rival this time? We will find out next October 12 in the beautiful lakeside city of Como.
