Image 1 of 2

This year’s Strade Bianche races include an extra 30km loop and so more climbs and more Tuscan gravel roads than ever before. It could change the dynamics of the racing and will definitely make them harder. The women’s race is 137km long and includes 12 gravel sectors for a total of 39.8km on the ‘white roads’ that twist and turn through the Chianti vineyards, 

The men’s race traditionally covered 184km but the extra loop near Siena over the Colle Pinzuto and Le Tolfe gravel roads extends the distance to 215 km. The men face 15 sectors instead of the previous 11 on Saturday afternoon, with a total of 71.5km on the farm tracks.
