Tadej Pogačar heads to Il Lombardia this weekend aiming to win his fifth consecutive title at the final Monument of the season. If he does, and who would bet against him, he’ll step up to the top of the stats table and share the honour of being a five-time winner with a true Italian legend.
Fausto Coppi is the only rider to have won the race of the falling leaves five times, just one reason Il Campionissimo (the champion of champions) is still thought of as the greatest Italian cyclist of all time.
