Team dsm-firmenich PostNL coach Pim Ligthart: “The last big dance of the season and the final Monument of the year; Il Lombardia. We arrive at the start highly motivated having seen at the Worlds this year, on a similarly demanding parcours, that we are in a good position at the moment as a team. The Colma di Sormano will be a key point in this year’s edition. If we pass this point successfully with a few of our riders at the head of the race, then everything will be possible.”
