The 2020 Il Lombardia was a one-day road cycling race that took place on 15 August 2020 in the Italian region of Lombardy.

[2] With around 50 kilometres to go, a select group, including defending champion Bauke Mollema and 2015 and 2017 winner Vincenzo Nibali, both of Trek–Segafredo, broke away from the peloton.

On the descent of the Muro di Sormano, Belgian rider Remco Evenepoel of Deceuninck–Quick-Step crashed into a low wall on a bridge, somersaulting over it and into the ravine below.

On the final climb, the San Fermo della Battaglia, Bennett put in several attacks that managed to shed Vlasov, but Fuglsang put in the winning move moments later and in turn dropped Bennett.

After Fuglsang had won, German rider Maximilian Schachmann of Bora–Hansgrohe was still several kilometres away from finishing, when he was side-swiped by an errant non-race car that drove across the road and his path, causing him to fall and become visibly upset and angry at race officials.
