Pogacar Wins Fourth Straight Il Lombardia Title

Tadej Pogacar clinched his fourth consecutive Il Lombardia title, marking his 25th victory of the 2024 season. His decisive solo attack occurred on the Colma di Sormano climb, where he distanced himself from rivals, finishing 3 minutes and 16 seconds ahead of Remco Evenepoel. This victory adds to Pogacar's illustrious year, which includes wins in two Grand Tours (Giro d’Italia and Tour de France) and the world championships. Pogacar's UAE Team Emirates played a crucial role in controlling the race, enabling his planned attack. His achievement equals Fausto Coppi's record of four straight Lombardia wins and caps off a season where Pogacar also became one of the few to win the Triple Crown of Cycling.
