last updated 3 March 2022

The Italian Classic Strade Bianche returns this Saturday in its familiar March slot, one of the first truly big races of the year.

The men's and women's races take place over 184km and 136km respectively, with 63km and 30km of the famous white gravel roads, or sterrato, in each race respectively.

The men's start list is provisional for now, but we know which big names are and aren't taking part. The last two winners, Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) and Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) are absent, but Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck - Quick-Step), Alejandro Valverde (Movistar Team), Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) and Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) will all be there. Riders making their debut on Saturday will include Michael Matthews (BikeExchange-Jayco).
