Tre Valli Varesine, part of the Italian autumn classics, is a challenging race with a hilly profile that suits Pogačar’s all-around abilities. Known for his aggressive style and ability to climb and sprint, Pogačar will be one of the top favorites. The race typically features a strong field, including climbers and puncheurs looking to challenge him, but Pogačar’s versatility gives him a distinct edge.
The 2024 season has been another spectacular one for Pogačar, with victories in prestigious races such as the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Nice, alongside a valiant effort in the Tour de France. Winning Tre Valli Varesine would not only solidify his position as the pre-race favorite for Il Lombardia but also enhance his status as one of the most dominant riders in modern cycling.
His main competition will likely come from other one-day specialists and Grand Tour contenders also using the race to gear up for Il Lombardia. Riders such as Remco Evenepoel and Julian Alaphilippe could pose a threat, but Pogačar’s current form makes him hard to beat.
As Pogačar prepares for this key race, all eyes will be on whether he can maintain his winning streak and cement his legacy as the dominant force in cycling ahead of the final Monument of the year.
