Watch Trofeo Alfredo Binda on March 16 for one of the jewels in the crown of the women's cycling calendar, with all the details here on TV and streaming options for the prestigious Italian Spring Classic.
Taking place in the hills of Lombardy, without ever favouring the pure climbers, the race is one of the most open and entertaining of the spring, and its status guarantees a star-studded field each and every year.
Defending champion and 2022 winner Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) is here, as is another two-time home winner, Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team ADQ). The great Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike) is another former winner on the start line, while the biggest star in women's cycling right now, Demi Vollering (FDJ-SUEZ) will look to win the race for the first time. The same can be said for Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime), an all-time great who has just come back to the sport after a three-year retirement, and looks in fine fettle.
There are broadcast options in the UK, USA and Canada, as well as free live streaming options in Italy. Read on for all the details on how to watch Trofeo Alfredo Binda online, on TV, and from anywhere.

Watch Trofeo Alfredo Binda from anywhere
If you're outside your usual country when Trofeo Binda is on, you might think you can’t watch the race due to the geo-restrictions most streaming platforms impose. But a VPN is a simple and safe way around this.
A Virtual Private Network is a piece of software that sets your IP address to make your device appear to be in any country in the world. Provided it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to unblock your usual streaming services from anywhere in the world. What's more, it helps with playback speeds and is a huge boost for your general internet security.
We test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example: 1. Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service). 2. Protecting your online security and strengthening your online privacy when abroad. We do not support or condone the illegal or malicious use of VPN services.
