The steep finishing climb in Varese will undoubtedly decide this race - but can this race be more than that 1 climb, and provide action throughout?
Your favourites for the day include Ricco, Gilbert, Ginanni, Pozzato, Monfort, Ponzi and Efimkin. It is sure to be a tightly fought battle.
There is a breakaway, of course. Tolleson, Grippo, Urtasun and Cleaver.
They lead by 3 and a half minutes with 80km to go, as Dan Martin, Wyss, Zaini and Albasini all attack the Vespa and Bacardi led peloton
10km later, the gap is bridged
The 4 attackers soon drop the initial break, and in turn the initial break is caught by the pack - now led by Wiggle
40km to go, the gap is barely over a minute
They fight hard though, but ultimately in vain. Caught with 16km left
Into the final 5km, Mercedes and Bacardi are heading affairs
And its Ghyllebert in the lead with barely 3km to go, we are onto the climb
Bosisio moves to the front now
But now Ponzi comes through, closely tracked by Gilbert
Ricco is attacking!
But Ponzi is quick to respond
Its a battle of the Italians here - can they keep it up?
And now all riders are off in the charge to the top, Gilbert, Efimkin and the Lego duo Monfort and Claeys lead the chase of the Italians
Into the final kilometre, Ricco is creating a gap over Ponzi here
While Ginanni has evidently done it again - poor positioning costing him as he is if not the fastest, then equally as quick as Ricco, and now looks to make his through inbetween some Lego
But round the turn and has Ricco gone too soon? Ponzi now has the faster speed, and is closing
We reach the top of the climbing, the final few hundred meters flatten out, but its neck a neck between Ricco and Ponzi once again
But just as Ponzi looks to have stolen it, Ricco finds that extra gear and finds the acceleration required to hold him off, and win the Tre Valli Varesine!
Behind Ponzi, its Gilbert taking 3rd, then Ginanni, Claeys and Monfort
Pozzato is only 8th, ahead of Kolobnev, Roux, Froome, Moletta and Caruso
Theres more Wiggles behind Caruso, while Kim Kirchen has never been so pleased with 19th
