The 2015 Il Lombardia (also known as the Giro di Lombardia or the Tour of Lombardy[2]) was a one-day cycling classic that took place around Lake Como in Lombardy in northern Italy on 4 October 2015. It was the 109th edition of the Il Lombardia one-day cycling race and was the final cycling monument of the 2015 season, as well as being the final race of the 2015 UCI World Tour. The race was organised by RCS Sport, who also organise the Giro d'Italia.
The course was difficult, taking in several hard climbs over the 245-kilometre (152 mi) route, including the famous Madonna del Ghisallo climb. It started in Bergamo and reached the coast of Lake Como about halfway through the race. The final 75 kilometres (47 mi) contained most of the climbing, with the final climb coming in the last 10 kilometres (6.2 mi). This was followed by a descent to the finish line in Como itself.
There was aggressive racing from the climb of the Madonna del Ghisallo and the very difficult Muro di Sormano that followed it. A small group came to the final climbs together. Vincenzo Nibali (Astana), who had targeted the race following his expulsion from the Vuelta a España, attacked on the penultimate descent. Despite losing some time to the chasers on the final climb, he came to the finish line alone to take his first ever Monument victory. Daniel Moreno (Team Katusha) was second, with Thibaut Pinot (FDJ) third.
