The 2024 Strade Bianche runs over 200km for the first time ever. Amongst the favourites for today's race are reigning champion Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) and Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), but who will lead the peloton into Siena's Piazza del Campo? Here's where to watch Strade Bianche live streams online for free – from anywhere.
Lawson Craddock, Anders Halland Johannessen and Mark Donovan formed a breakaway group, but with around 100km to go at the time of writing, the peloton is about to reel them in.
Pogačar is used to beginning his season in victorious fashion, but this is a late start by his standards and, as such, he's likely to be rustier than the competition. The Slovenian last competed in early October, and though he won the 2022 edition of the Strade Bianche, that race had a very different complexion.
The 2024 route spans 215km and takes in 15 gravel sectors, both major steps up. Whether the tweaks result in a greater spectacle remains to be seen, but the risk of misadventure has definitely gone up a notch, with Tuscany's pristine gravel prone to administering a race-breaking sting to unfortunate riders.
