The race:

Tre Valli Varesine is a single-day professional bicycle race held in the province of Varese, in northern Italy. It is part of the Trittico Lombardo (Lombardy Triptych), three races held in late summer in the northern Italian region of Lombardy: Tre Valle Varesine, Coppa Ugo Agostoni and the Coppa Bernocchi.

It is one of cycling's oldest races, the first edition having been run in 1919 and won by Piero Bestetti. Gianni Motta and Giuseppe Saronni share the record of having won the race four times.

There is no 1921 third place as the first rider across the line, Andriano Zanaga, was declassified.

It has always been an in-line race except for 1955, when it was a 100 km individual time trial, won by Fausto Coppi.

In 1935 the race was run as an amateurs-only event.

In 1950, 1960, 1973 and 1982 the race winner was also declared Italian road champion.

In 2005 the UCI ranked it HC and made made it part of the Europe Tour.

In 2020 the race was re-classed and made part of the Pro Series.
