Tadej Pogačar will make his season debut at Strade Bianche on Saturday, happy to be back racing and hungry for a second victory on the spectacular gravel roads of Tuscany.

The Slovenian has trained quietly at home in Monte Carlo in recent weeks, watching his Grand Tour rivals Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel dominate their early races.
