Pogacar Wins Tre Valli Varesine With Long-Range Descent Attack

He honored last year’s pledge to return after the weather cancellation, winning with a long solo move at the Trittico Lombardo finale.

Overview

  • The world and European champion attacked around 19–20 km from the finish on a descent and rode alone to the line in Varese.
  • He won by 45 seconds ahead of Albert Withen Philipsen, with Julian Alaphilippe taking third.
  • No Italian rider placed inside the top ten.
  • The 104th edition covered roughly 200 km from Busto Arsizio to Varese with about 3,377 meters of climbing as the last race of the Trittico Lombardo.
  • The victory marked Pogacar’s 19th of the season and 107th of his career, extending UAE Team Emirates’ banner year as he now turns his focus to the Giro di Lombardia, where he seeks a fifth straight win.
