Strade Bianche 2025

Strade Bianche Information

Strade Bianche, the hilly Italian race with its signature white gravel roads through Tuscany has become a popular Spring Classic. The 19th edition of the WorldTour race, billed as “Europe’s most southern northern classic”, will take place on March 3, held on the same day as the Stade Bianche Women's race.

The race, put on by Giro d'Italia organisers RCS Sport, has paralleled the growth of gravel racing throughout the world since its first edition in 2007. In its previous life as L'Eroica Strade Bianche a decade earlier, amateurs recreated the heroic days of old by racing vintage bicycles over the white gravel roads around Siena.

After moving from its October date to March in 2008, Strade Bianche was added to the calendar of many of the top riders. Fabian Cancellara's victories in 2008, 2012 and 2016 are the most by a single rider.

Past winners of Strade Bianche include Philippe Gilbert, Michał Kwiatkowski, Zdeněk Štybar, Tiesj Benoot, Julian Alaphilippe, Wout van Aert, Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Pogačar and Tom Pidcock.
