Tadej Pogacar
A sixth straight Lombardia still begins with the rider most suited to the course.
Remco Evenepoel
If he reaches the final climbs at full strength, he is still the clearest challenger.
Juan Ayuso
He fits the steep late-climb pattern well enough to win if the top favorite blinks.
Primoz Roglic
A tactical late-season Lombardia with a small front group keeps him relevant.
Tom Pidcock
If the race opens on repeated accelerations rather than one long climb, he gains value.
Giulio Ciccone
The Italian climber belongs in the conversation on a route like this.
