Tadej Pogacar capped a remarkable season when the won the Giro di Lombardia, the last of five Monument classics, for the third year in a row as France's Thibaut Pinot got a memorable send-off on Saturday.
Pogacar, who finished second in the Tour de France this year, also won the second Monument of the season, the Tour of Flanders - one of his 17 victories this year."I felt very strong today and I knew the final well, so I had to attack far from the finish. I would have preferred to start with Vlasov and work with him all the way to the finish, but they soon came back behind me, so on instinct, I accelerated at the start of the descent, got a bit of a lead and that was enough.
Pinot, who won the Giro di Lombardia in 2018 and finished third in the 2014 Tour de France, smiled as he fended off the sea of flag-waving fans.
