One of the oldest women's events in the calendar, Trofeo Alfredo Binda - Commune di Cittiglio, is also one of the rare one-day events of the spring where SD Worx-Protime doesn't have its name scrawled all over the leaderboard through recent years. For three years running, the Women's WorldTour race, which first took place 50 years ago, has been the dominion of Lidl-Trek.
Last year it was Shirin van Anrooij who took the honours for the team with a solo break, while Elisa Balsamo claimed the second spot from the small group sprint behind. That finishing turn of speed was the key to victory for the team in 2022, when Balsamo triumphed in a reduced bunch sprint, and in 2021 it was Elisa Longo Borghini with a solo win.
The question now is can the team claim its first Women's WorldTour win of the year to make it four in a row in Cittiglio in 2024?
