Paul Seixas has made history at Il Lombardia, becoming the youngest winner in the race’s history and breaking a record that had stood for more than a century. We discuss his remarkable performance, Remco Evenepoel’s race, and how the battle between cycling’s rising star and established names unfolded. We also look at what this historic result could mean for the future of the sport and where Seixas now stands among the biggest names in professional cycling.

In Episode #6 of our 2027 Cycling Transfer updates, we break down the latest mega-rumors and reported deals—including Primož Roglič's potential move to Tudor Pro Cycling and Giulio Ciccone's reported deal with Pinarello-Q36.5!

The final Monument of the 2026 season is here, but for once, Tadej Pogačar won't be lining up in Como.
That leaves the door wide open for a fascinating battle at Il Lombardia, with Remco Evenepoel looking to end his season on a high against two of the biggest young stars in cycling: Paul Seixas and Isaac del Toro.
Can Remco's incredible 2026 season continue with another major victory? Will Seixas announce himself on one of cycling's most brutal and prestigious stages? And after his breakthrough season, can Del Toro produce another huge performance when it matters most?
In this Il Lombardia 2026 Preview Show, we break down the favourites, the key climbs, the tactics, the teams and the riders who could surprise everyone on the Road of the Falling Leaves.
And with Pogačar absent, could we be about to witness one of the most unpredictable Lombardias in years?

The biggest stories from another huge week in professional cycling are all packed into this week’s Race Weekly Review.
Remco Evenepoel and Demi Vollering both claimed European Championship road race victories, adding another major title to two already remarkable seasons. We look at how both races unfolded and what these victories mean for the rest of their 2026 campaigns.
Meanwhile, Filippo Zana Piganzoli took a big win at the Giro dell’Emilia, while Brandon McNulty finally made his debut in the rainbow jersey as World Champion at the Tour of Langkawi.
Speaking of Langkawi, the race produced a surprise winner that few people saw coming, while one of the biggest transfer rumours of the week has Filippo Ganna linked with Lidl-Trek in a potential swap deal. Could we really see one of the biggest names in cycling change teams?
All that, plus the biggest talking points, surprises and stories from the past seven days in professional cycling.

In one of the most dramatic European Championships in recent memory, Remco Evenepoel finally completed his collection of major road race titles after an incredible battle with Giulio Ciccone in Slovenia.
Remco looked to have the race under control before crashing while trying to drop Ciccone on the final circuits. He recovered, rejoined the Italian and the pair went all the way to a stunning photo finish, with Evenepoel throwing his bike at the line to snatch the European title by the smallest of margins.
But Ciccone certainly wasn't making life easy for him. After refusing to take his turns and sitting on Remco, the Italian nearly pulled off the ultimate upset in the sprint, leaving Evenepoel visibly frustrated before the Belgian somehow found one final kick.
We break down Remco's incredible comeback, the Ciccone tactics, the chaotic finale, Primož Roglič's performance and what this victory means for Evenepoel after his disappointing World Championships.
European Champion. World Champion. Olympic Champion. Remco has now completed the collection.
