PREVIEW | Tre Valli Varesine 2024: Can Tadej Pogacar continue winning run before Il Lombardia?
CyclingTuesday, 08 October 2024 at 11:47
This Tuesday, October 8th, the Tre Valli Varesine will serve as a warm-up for next Saturday's Il Lombardia. We preview a spectacular race, very hard, with more than 3,400 meters of accumulated elevation gain that will end as usual in Varese in a race that has been won by greats such as Barali, Coppi, Merckx Bugno or more recently Nibali, Roglic or Pogacar.
The race will consist of a total of 200 kilometers with numerous climbs to Montello (2 km at 5.2% and Ronchi-Casbeno (2.5 km at 5). There will be 8 laps of the circuit with the last climb to Ronchi one kilometer from the finish. The climb to Barasso is incorporated on this occasion, with 11% sections that could do a lot of damage. Perfect day for the classics.
UAE has confirmed Tadej Pogacar as the leader of the team, who, after a stunning performance at the Giro dell'Emilia in his first race in the rainbow jersey, will once again fight for the win in Varese before looking for another Monument next Saturday in Como. Juan Ayuso, Rafal Majka, Pavel Sivakov and Jay Vine will be at his side. The Slovenian is a big favourite.
We'll see if Remco Evenepoel and Primoz Roglic are fit enough to make things difficult for him, or not. Watch out also for men like Tom Pidcock or Pello Bilbao, dangerous on this type of course.

- Wow, sad and unlucky indeed if he can’t even cycle recreationally as a result of this.mobk09-01-2026
- That's right, Giannetti said that Almeida and Ayuso asked to go to the 2024 TdF. They told them that Tadej was the only captain then if they went, they would be domestiques. Both accepted. Almeida kept his word, but Ayuso was a traitor. As soon as he realized he couldn't play his game , hiding at the back of the peloto, watching his classification, he got "COVID" (in summer, at 40 °C), leaving his team with a man less.

- just a boneheaded move to watch yates ride away in that initial 100m of his attack. it wasn’t that blistering. Del Toro and Carapaz just watched with no response.mij09-01-2026
- Health comes first on every occasion, for the sport this is disappointing I can't imagine how disappointing is for Eli. Wish him all the best.slappers6609-01-2026
- Starting all 3 vs finishing all 3, which makes what Sepp Kuss did in 2023 very impressive.
Front24209-01-2026 - It'd be good to see these back on the Classics 👍
leedorney09-01-2026 - it will be interesting to see his results when he steps into the bigger races. 19 wins, but so many in the fall in mid level races. still the mid races need to be won to step up to the biggies.mij09-01-2026
