I still think the current route is the best designed version of Lombardia. Perhaps the best designed hilly/mountainous race out there?
Civiligo + San Fermo are like the climber's edition of Cipressa and Poggio but there are more outcomes in Il Lombardia. It's a very tactical race.
I felt like the time between Mollema's attack on Civiligo and his win lasted an hour.
I'd like to see century old races like Emilia and Torino on the WT calender. It would make Lombardia stand out more as the the lighthouse of the mountain classics. Like Ronde/Roubaix is the culmination of the cobbled classics and Liege is the jewel of the hilly ones.
