It was the 111th edition of the Il Lombardia and the 36th event of the 2017 UCI World Tour.[1] It was won for the second time by Vincenzo Nibali.[2] The race was marred by several severe accidents, all on the fast and technical descent of the Sormano hill. Laurens De Plus (Quick-Step Floors) suffered a small fracture to his right knee when he was launched over the guardrail and fell into a ravine.[3] Jan Bakelants (AG2R La Mondiale) remained hospitalised in Como with seven broken ribs and two fractures to his spine. Simone Petilli (UAE Team Emirates) was diagnosed after his crash at the same site with two back fractures, a broken collarbone and shoulder blade.

12. There was a big crash. I think Evans was up there. His sort of finish
14. Cardiff’s finest - Geraint Thomas

Polka dot took a flyer off a bend on the descent.

On Q27 are we talking stage wins? If so I’ll go with Hushovd.0

5. I've seen the answer judged correct, but many people would say 46 because the first two are before Trafoi, where the climb really begins
14. I've seen the answer judged correct but wasn't Lemond in yellow the day he and Hinault crossed the line together. If Hinault, not Lemond, was given that win, then it was Armstrong (until his win was deleted), and only then Thomas
16. Eric Helden changed from speed-skating to cycling but he wasn't then ever a world champion, so perhaps a woman who changed from skating to cycling?
18. Agree with RichN95 (Chris Horner, 41 years old), although I'd guess the year was 2012, not 2013
23. Somewhere over the Atlantic during the 1970s
25. I've seen the answer judged correct, but I've never heard of Lemond ever doing competitive skiing, but hey, maybe he did
26. Like RichN95, I was going to suggest Rominger as one of the three, but Rominger's name isn't in the so-far correct answers, so I'll go with Zulle, Jalabert and (as substitute for Rominger), Roglic
34. Didi Senft
37. Duclos-Lasalle in a 1990s Paris-Roubaix0 -
16 - v.d. Breggan then? I think she's from the skating heartland of the heartland...jimmyjams said:

26 - In fairness I think Pinno means schoolboy or college level rather than as a pro. We could add Taylor Phinney but maybe that would make it too easy. (And a few more if we count XC Ski)We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Cime de la Bonette. Actually the road is 2802m. I've got the photo to prove it.0 -
First parallelogram was the Gran Sport I think, before that it was the Cambio Corsa… so that would be around 1950… let’s say 1951?left the forum March 20230

But does that include the random loop they added to the road just to make it higher though?briantrumpet said:pinno said:

You missed a trick if you didn't do the descent/climb the other side too. Nearly everyone does just the one side, but the other side is fantastic too.

16 I would have gone with Eric Heiden first, knowing he had good pedigree in skating but not sure he ever did any track. So I second the opinion it's likely to be a woman so will go with Marianne Vos.0
