Two-time winner Vincenzo Nibali and the in-form Remco Evenepoel are among the favourites for victory at the season’s second Monument Classic on Saturday, ll Lombardia.
The 231km race this year starts in Bergamo, finishes in Como and crests six categorised climbs along the way, including the legendary Madonna del Ghisallo, the steep Muro di Sormano and the pivotal Civiglio.
The race starts at 12:20 CET and is scheduled to finish at around 18:30 CET.
It should be a compelling spectacle, and you can follow all the action with Velon’s new and improved Race Centre.
You can use it to see riders’ speed, power and cadence data, while the innovative Red Zone will tell you who has and hasn’t been riding above a sustainable effort. This means you will be able to work out who is likely to burn out and who could come on strong at the end.
Red Zone shows you which riders have been working the hardest
The Spotlight area of the Race Centre enables you to select up to 10 riders and compare their live data side by side. So, if a handful of riders are on the attack on the Madonna del Ghisallo or Muro di Sormano, you’ll be able to see who’s on the limit and who is holding something back.
The Spotlight area allows you to analyse and compare the performances of up to 10 riders of your choice simultaneously
Lastly, we’ve introduced a new Moments section, which will bring you race updates and analytical snippets such as which rider has produced the highest power in the race so far and who has hit the highest speed.
