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.
