Back to the drawing board
Lombardia 2022 will be remembered because, like no other race, it witnessed a true sport handover, the end of one era and the beginning of a new one for world cycling. On the one hand, yet another triumph for Tadej Pogačar, who adds one more trophy to his already formidable career. The Slovenian makes it a double at the Lombardia and brings his successes in Monumental Classics to three. On the other, the farewell to arms of the die-hard Vincenzo Nibali and Alejandro Valverde, the Shark and the Imbatido.
