History

Now defunct, the Trofeo Angelo Baracchi traditionally took place at the end of the season as an invitation-only, two-up team time trial. The origins, however, were in an amateur road race held from 1941 to 1946. In 1947 and 1948 this became a professional race, with the TTT format first being used in 1949. The distance was generally around 100km, with the start and finish points being as follows:

Since the demise of this race, the most important 2-up on the calendar has been the Telekom / Breitling GP in Germany and, latterly, the GP Eddy Merckx
