Team dsm-firmenich coach Pim Ligthart: “The last monument of the season, Il Lombardia will bring us from Como to Bergamo over 238 kilometres, which include 4646 elevation metres. It’s a beautiful yet challenging parcours and we want to finish the season in a good way with a nice result at ’the race of the falling leaves’. Romain is our finisher in Lombardia and we have a strong line-up with some experienced and younger guys to support him in the best way possible.”
