As the Autumn weather begins to hit and cyclists worldwide begin to pull their arm warmers out of the wardrobe, the road racing season draws to a close.
This year, the Italian monument Il Lombardia was a final goodbye to cycling for Vincenzo Nibali, “the Shark of Messina” as well as former Spanish World Champion Alejandro Valverde. Belgian legend Philippe Gilbert was another rider to hang up his wheels recently and his final hurrah on his home roads of Belgium was also a passing of the torch to recently crowned Belgian world champion, Remco Evenepoel.
