Giro Di Lombardia

The Giro di Lombardia (English: Tour of Lombardy) is a cycling race, in Lombardy, Italy. It is the last 'Monument' of the European calendar, and although no longer part of the UCI ProTour, it was for many years the last event in the UCI World Ranking calendar, and therefore potentially decisive in that title. In 2012 however, it will move to a new position on the calendar in late September. Its nickname is "the classic of the dead (falling) leaves" (Italian: la classica delle foglie morte).
