Weather at the start/finish city of Siena at 2:10 PM, local time: 16C (61F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the south at 5 km/hr (3 mph). There is a 50% chance of rain.
The race: Speaking seconds after the finish, Tadej Pogacar, the winner of Strade Bianche said: “I’ve probably said this in the past but chapeau to the team today. They’ve done an incredible job from the start, controlling the breakaway and setting up a great pace. It was beautiful to see all the guys from the team performing so well. I’m super happy to deliver the win. I’ve seen Paul Seixas chasing really hard on the steepest part of the climb when I attacked on Monte Sante Marie. I said to myself “go all out to the top then I’ll see either he’ll come to my wheel or he’ll explode”. Then I saw the gap was enough and Isaac [Del Toro] and Jan [Christen] were there. It helped a lot to go alone. It’s a great start of the season. I’ll take the rest of the year race by race and we’ll see if it goes as well as last year”.
Here's the report from winner Tadej Pogacar's UAE Team Emriates-XRG:
Tadej Pogačar roars to record fourth Strade Bianche title
The world champion makes his trademark attack on the Monte Sante Maria and goes solo with 79km to ride, as Isaac del Toro also claims third place for UAE
With an imperious display on the white gravel roads of Tuscany, Tadej Pogačar claimed a record-breaking fourth title at Strade Bianche on Saturday afternoon. In doing so, the world champion became the first rider in race history to win back-to-back-to-back editions.
It was a performance that saw the UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider every bit at his best, with his race-winning attack set up magnificently by teammates Kevin Vermaerke, Felix Grossschartner, Florian Vermeersch, and Jan Christen.

So far, it looks like a dusty day in the saddle. This should be the Radi sector.
Once the Slovenian had flown the coop, his young teammate Isaac del Toro expertly tracked the various chasing groups, and eventually rode his way to third place at the finish in Siena. Over a minute ahead, meanwhile, Pogačar could celebrate an astonishing victory in what was his first race day of the season.
After having a sector of gravel named after him earlier in the week, Pogačar made his trademark winning move on the Monte Santa Maria, and only extended his advantage over those behind as the final 79km unfolded. It was a performance of the highest order, and one that will likely be talked about for decades to come.

Here's Pogacar's attack from the front and the awful dust the riders are dealing with.
Speaking after the finish, the UAE Team Emirates-XRG man reflected on what was another memorable day in the saddle.
Pogačar: “More or less, this was the plan!
“Isaac completed the podium as well, which I am super happy for him. For sure, he would also deserve the win, but it was not only him. It was also Jan Christen – he did an amazing job today – so did Felix Grossschartner and Florian Vermeersch. They did super hard pacing. Also, Domen [Novak] and Kevin [Vermaerke] did a lot of parts that you don’t see on TV.
“It was an honour to ride with the whole team today, it was so beautiful to see. I am really proud and happy for all that they performed well from Kilometre 0 to the finish line. We did an amazing job, and without the team, it is impossible to ride like this.”

He's gone. Tadej Pogacar takes off with almost 80 kilometers to go.
With Pogačar’s long history of attacking from long distances at Strade Bianche, his UAE Team Emirates-XRG squad was tailored towards blowing the race apart from afar. As such, the throngs of fans at the roadside bore witness to the full Emirati squad at the front of the race with 90km to ride.
It was on the gravel sector of San Martino in Grania that Kevin Vermaerke became the first to set a ferocious pace at the front of the peloton. The American’s effort was soon followed by teammate Felix Grossschartner, with Florian Vermeersch taking over the duties once the peloton reached the long gravel sector of Monte Sante Maria.

Late in the race, a reduced peloton.
On this 10km+ sector of gravel, UAE Team Emirates-XRG detonated this year’s Strade Bianche, first through the work of Vermeersch, and then by the exquisite lead-out from Jan Christen. The young Swiss rider shredded the front of the peloton to less than 10 riders, with his teammates Isaac del Toro and Tadej Pogačar in the wheel.
As the group began a short descent with 79.7km to ride, Pogačar saw his opportunity to attack, and take it he did. The Slovenian distanced the likes of Tom Pidcock (Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling), with Paul Seixas (Decathlon CMA CGM Team) appearing as his closest rival.
The young Frenchman valiantly fought to regain contact with Pogačar – closely followed by Del Toro – but with a second strong acceleration, the world champion would not be denied. With over 79km left to ride, Pogačar was alone and danced on the pedals as he rode away from the field. It was a display that cycling has come to expect from the 27-year-old, but with each passing victory, the spectacle gets no less impressive.

Tadej Pogacar 1min 40sec ahead of a chase group of five on the Le Tolfe sector.
With four Strade Bianche titles to his name, the UAE Team Emirates-XRG man now has 109 career victories, and looks well set as he builds towards his next targets in the Spring Classics. In passing Fabian Cancellara’s three victories at the race of the white roads, Pogačar now has the outright record with the most Strade Bianche wins to his name.
Behind Pogačar, as the various chasing groups scrambled to mount some opposition, both Del Toro and Christen delivered notable performances to stay right in the thick of the action. As Saturday’s race drew to a close in the Piazza del Campo in Siena, Del Toro crossed the line in third, with Christen in sixth.
Their results only added to another fabulous day for UAE Team Emirates-XRG.

Weather at the start/finish city of Siena at 2:10 PM, local time: 16C (61F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the south at 5 km/hr (3 mph). There is a 50% chance of rain.
The race: Here's the report from fourth-place Elisa Longo Borghini's UAE Team ADQ.
Strong performance from UAE Team ADQ at the twelfth edition of the Strade Bianche Women, with Elisa Longo Borghini among the main protagonists throughout the day and finishing fourth in Piazza del Campo after a very intense race.
The 133 km course, featuring 11 gravel sectors, came to life on the longest stretch of the day, San Martino in Grania, where the high pace split the peloton and created a leading group of around twenty riders. Among them were Longo Borghini alongside teammates Paula Blasi and Dominika Włodarczyk. A crash involving several riders also affected the race of Mavi Garcia, Silvia Persico, and especially Erica Magnaldi, who suffered several cuts and bruises.
Włodarczyk launched an attack together with Elise Chabbey, and after being caught she played an important supporting role for her teammate. In the finale, the Italian champion was one of the most aggressive riders on the decisive gravel sectors. Longo Borghini attacked several times, first on Colle Pinzuto and then on the steep slopes of Le Tolfe, trying to make the difference within the group of favourites.
The race was decided only in the final kilometres. A group of eight riders reached the Strappo di Santa Caterina together, with the victory eventually decided in a four-rider sprint. The win went to Chabbey, ahead of Kasia Niewiadoma and Franziska Koch, while Longo Borghini finished fourth just a few seconds behind.
“My legs were hurting in the final, but I can’t blame myself for anything,” said Longo Borghini. “I tried to attack and race aggressively. It’s better to give everything until the end than not try and maybe finish second.”
It was an important result for UAE Team ADQ, which played a leading role on one of the most selective and spectacular races of the Women’s WorldTour calendar.
