Tadej Pogačar heads into the 2024 Tre Valli Varesine with remarkable form, looking to extend his winning streak ahead of Il Lombardia. The Slovenian star has already had a stellar season, with victories at the Tour de France, GP de Montréal, and his recent triumph at the Giro dell’Emilia. Pogačar’s ability to dominate one-day races and stage races makes him a strong favorite for this prestigious Italian classic, which serves as a key tune-up race before the season finale at Il Lombardia.
The Tre Valli Varesine, held over 200 kilometers with a challenging mix of climbs and descents around Varese, presents a perfect stage for Pogačar’s aggressive and versatile style. His team, UAE Team Emirates, will likely rally behind him to control the race and set up a winning move on the decisive final climbs. However, Pogačar will face stiff competition from riders like Primož Roglič, who is also sharpening his form for Il Lombardia, and young talents such as Remco Evenepoel and João Almeida, who are eager to test themselves against one of the world’s best.
Pogačar’s focus will be on fine-tuning his race strategy and ensuring his form peaks just right for Il Lombardia, where he’s aiming to secure his third victory. His remarkable ability to time attacks perfectly and maintain form deep into the season has set him apart from his rivals, and Tre Valli Varesine will offer a final opportunity to gauge his readiness.
With his impressive momentum, all eyes will be on whether Pogačar can claim yet another victory or if the Italian race will see a new face atop the podium.
