This year’s Il Lombardia has a new date and new extra climb. The Muro di Sormano was a controversial inclusion in the Giro di Lombardia for three years in the 1960’s – 1960, 1961, and 1962. After which, the climb was removed and left to the annals of legend until 2012. 50 years later, race organizers, RCS, re-introduced the famed wall to Il Lombardia.
Jered Gruber and Ashley Norris made their first attempt to the top of Il Muro di Sormano. Enjoy!

final major Classic of the long European season.
