Strade Bianche Women is a relatively young race, with its inaugural edition in 2015, but has gained popularity for its trek across the scenic white gravel roads of Tuscany, in its seven editions. The event has been part of the Women's WorldTour since the series' inception in 2016.
Organized by Giro d'Italia organisers RCS Sport, the Strade Bianche Women will take place on March 3, held on the same day as the men's Strade Bianche.
