La 103e édition des Trois Vallées Varésines n'ira pas à son terme ! En raison d'une météo catastrophique en Lombardie, avec énormément de pluie depuis le début de la journée, la course italienne a été interrompue à un peu plus de 100 kilomètres de l'arrivée, puis définitivement annulée, la sécurité des coureurs n'étant pas garantie. Pour rappel, les organisateurs des Tre Valli Varesine avaient déjà décidé d'enlever deux tours de circuit avant le départ, faisant passer l'épreuve de 200 à 168 kilomètres. Disputée quelques heures plus tôt et dans des conditions également terribles, l'épreuve féminine avait pu aller à son terme, et c'est la Française Cédrine Kerbaol (CERATIZIT-WNT Pro Cycling) qui s'était imposée Varèse. La réaction du champion du monde sur route, Tadej Pogacar !

00:46You know the metal the weather was supposed to be really bad today everybody knew this but

00:57Neutral was already. I think seven punctures few broken wheels as we saw so the neutral was already extended
01:08We start the race
01:09They say two laps less, but I think
01:13Yeah, we tried not to race and we did
01:17Good race until
01:18We could but then the last lap that we did on the downhill
01:23I was on the second position behind Kovi and we were just we didn't see where we go and I think was
01:32Everybody wanted to stop because
01:35more broken wheels more punctures was coming and just the matter of a question which lap would some some guy crash and
01:43Those are the worst crashes when you lose the handlebar and you go over the the bike
01:47It's it's not like when you slide on the asphalt in the in the hairpin, then you just get two scratches
01:53If you're lucky, but if if you crash
01:56Like when you don't even expect
01:59The pothole if you crash over the handlebar on your head is we know how is with concussions this year

02:18We understand the organizers that we want to race
02:21but I think in the end all the riders made the right decision not to and
02:26Yeah, we are set for the race to not continue, but it's like this when it's water standing that
02:34With the shoes over the water is not it's not good
02:39The bench
02:41No, we already talked with the organizer and
02:44Yeah
02:46luckily
02:47Everybody was reasonable. I could I could see
02:52How heavy was for the for the boss of organization?
02:56There was some there was some tears in the eyes also because it means a lot to them this race and you they had
03:04Riders participating and it's a beautiful race
03:07but
03:09When you cannot race you cannot and they understood this immediately, so I'm really thankful for them for this
03:16understandment understanding so
03:20They decided
