Fast and dry expected for Strade Bianche after midweek rain.
The popular Italian classic, Strade Bianche returns Saturday with both the women's and men's races (be still my Tuscan heart). Cycling’s southernmost northern classic is always unpredictable when you factor in the famed 'sterrato' gravel roads over the green Tuscan hills. A year ago, French sports daily L'Equipe surveyed 381 professional riders about their race favorites. When asked which race they thought should be added to the monument club, Strade Bianche is on top... I wholeheartedly agree!
