I can't explain how I descend the way I do. You either have it or you don't, I think, although, as a descender, Sagan is even crazier than I am: at least I try to keep a margin for error. Everyone knew that I wanted a result today, which meant that I was very closely marked on the way up the Civiglio. We all had the same number of kilometres in our legs, and it wasn't easy to invent a race-winning move, but I managed to come up with something at the top of the descent. I was kept constantly aware of what was happening behind me. I built a good lead and I knew the reaction from the chasing group would be strong, but I rode at a very even pace and, once I reached at the top of San Fermo, the ride into Como seemed to go by in a moment.		share this photo
9s later are Thibaut PINOT (FDJ) and Daniel MORENO (KATUSHA) who would finished 3rd and 2nd respectively. They continued to lose ground.		share this photo

Your 2015 Il Lombardia winner, Vincenzo Nibali (Astana)		share this photo
Vincenzo Nibali ends his World Tour season on a positive note - his first monumental win. I have always wanted to win a big one-day classic, and I've come close in the past. I've always been competitive in one-day races although, since I started concentrating on three-week tours, I've lost some of my acceleration. But when there are very hard climbs, like today, it's easier for a climber like me, and finally to take the win here means a lot to me. I've often had good form here, only for a fall or a bit of bad luck to intervene. But now I have won, and I've always said that a win in Il Lombardia is worth a Li�ge-Bastogne-Li�ge.		share this photo
