🏆Dernière classique Italienne de la saison, la Lombardie reçoit ce mardi 8 octobre entre Busto Arsizio et Varése 🇮🇹 la 4ème édition des Tre Valli Varesine Women’s Race Classé UCI 1.1. En 2023, Liane Lippert – Movistar Team l’avait emporté.
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.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Bruyneel understands nothing about clean competition.Sweep21-12-2024
- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
