Tour of Lombardy Oct 2027*

The Tour of Lombardy (Giro di Lombardia) is a classic one-day cycling race in Lombardy, northwest Italy. Traditionally held in early October each year, it is known as “The Race of the Falling Leaves” and is the last of the 5 Monument races on the professional cycling calendar.

The first edition of this prestigious race was held on 12 November 1905, under the name Milano-Milano. Soon after this inaugural edition's success, the race became a permanent fixture at the end of the European cycling season. Since 1907, it has been known as the Giro di Lombardia.

The Tour’s route has changed on many occasions over the years - more than any other of the classic races. With a total distance of 253km - starting in Bergamo and ending in Como - and a large number of famous climbs, the Tour of Lombardy is considered a climbers' classic and one of the toughest races of the season.
