2024 STRADE BIANCHE Plus 30 km...
The Strade Bianche is a road bicycle race in Tuscany, Central Italy, starting and finishing in Siena. First held in 2007, it is raced annually on the first (or second) Saturday of March. The name Strade Bianche (Italian for White Roads) stems from the historic white gravel roads in the Crete Senesi, which are a defining feature of the race. One-third of the total race distance is raced on dirt roads, covering 63 km of strade bianche, spread over 11 sectors.
Initially organized only for men, since 2015 also for women.
The Strade Bianche, with gravel strips, nasty slopes and that terrible final climb, was already known as one of the toughest races. And yet organizer RCS decided to add thirty kilometers in 2024.
