   "I have no idea how it will go," the Roche told Cyclingnews yesterday. "Last week, I was feeling okay but I came up short in both races on the last lap [he was 68th in the GP Beghelli and 50th in the Giro dell'Emilia]. I was good on the penultimate lap but then on the last lap I ended up with nothing.

   "Piemonte was good enough but apart from the last 30 kilometres, we never went full gas. It was always medium speed all day. That was okay for me. I think Lombardy is quite hard in relation to my condition, but I am going there with the morale of knowing that it is the last race of the season. I want to try to get all the way down to Como in the best condition."

   Lombardia, 242km, started in Varese, headed towards Como and is now travelling around the lake. It already climbed to Intelvi and Valsassina is next.

   Reaching Lecco, the race follows a narrow and windy lakefront road towards Bellagio, current base of Emilia winner Robert Gesink (Rabobank). The race enters his critical stage from Bellagio, the Madonna del Ghisallo (511m of elevation gain), Civiglio and San Fermo climbs.

   Madonna di Ghisallo comes 44.3 kilometres to race. Civiglio (at 15.7km to go) and San Fermo (at 5.7km to go) will decide the winner._____ Situation _____

   Cunego's Lampre's team is working with Evans' and Gilbert's team, Silence-Lotto.
