Trofeo Alfredo Binda - Comune di Cittiglio 2025 information
The Trofeo Alfredo Binda - Comune di Cittiglio, one of the most prestigious spring Classics on the Women's WorldTour, returns for a 26th edition on March 16. It is the sixth stop on the Women's WorldTour this season.
Named after Italian cycling legend Alfredo Binda, born in Cittiglio, the race was held for the first time in 1974 as a regional race and 25 years later became a national-level race. From 2008 to 2015 it was the only Italian World Cup event for women, moving to the top tier in 2016.
Trofeo Alfredo Binda is set across the rolling hills of Lombardy, beginning in Luino for 152km, which include six laps of a challenging circuit before a flat run into the finish in Cittiglio.
In 2024, Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) won from a reduced bunch of 25 riders, eclipsing Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime) and Puck Pieterse (Fenix-Deceuninck) at the line. It was a second career title at her home race for Balsamo, who also won in 2022.
To date only two riders have four titles at the one-day classic - Dutch rider Marianne Vos (2009, 2010, 2012 and 2019) and Italian Maria Canins (1984, 1985, 1990 and 1992).
