Strade Bianche returns in its usual early March spot this weekend on the signature white gravel roads of the region that give the race its name. The hilly Italian Classic has rapidly built up a reputation for dramatic racing, with calls for it to become the sixth Monument never far away.

The 18th men’s edition will enlivened by the presence of the 2022 champion Tadej Pogačar, who returns as he builds for his Giro d’Italia debut in May, setting up an enticing battle with last year’s winner, Tom Pidcock.

“It’s quite iconic and is the closest you can come to the old-fashioned style of racing on dirt roads,” he said. “The finish is quite nice, as is the environment, that part of Italy is a really great place. I know that doing well in that race is something he Pidcock] would like to do several times. There are other races he would like to win once, but I think he wouldn’t say no to a second win there. It means a lot to him.”
