    Last of the season's Monuments on today. Seems to have kind of slipped under the radar. Dunno how Dan Martin's going but if well obviously one of the contenders.
    Preview here: http://www.cyclingquotes.com/news/2016_il_lombardia_preview/

    Crazy long preview to go with a crazy hilly race if you're in the mood for punishment. Just a quick flick of the eyes for me though to the bottom of the review to see he favours Chaves ahead of Uran & Rui Costa as favourites.

    The breakaway are part the halfway point.

    Damiano Caruso (BMC), Stefan Denifl (IAM), Mickael Cherel (AG2R-La Mondiale), and Rudy Molard (Cofidis).

    Live coverage starts on Eurosport1 at 1.30pm.

    Cool. I assumed this was on tomorrow. I even set the sky box to record as it said it was on Sunday afternoon

    Looks like Martin missed the pivotal move of the day. Not going to contest it.

    Yeah, two team mates in front group. Looks like his race is over. A lot of strong riders there.

    Roche not leader today and lacking alot of racing (SKY not using him since he decided to leave) so said before race not expecting to do anything in such a long race

    Poels and Landa were leaders but obviously no legs

    I wonder why riders who are not up for it/ haven't the legs are put forward as leaders like Aru today

    Rosa looked strongest in race and if not riding for Aru could have won imo
