Strade Bianche Donne 2026 is the current-season edition of Strade Bianche Donne. Strade is still the gravel stress test that asks the women’s peloton to make spring-classics decisions at speed on white roads long before Siena comes into view. On the women’s spring calendar, Strade is the early race that most clearly blends classics instinct, climbing punch, and technical calm in one afternoon.
The 2026 race is set for 133.0 km around Siena, with gravel sectors, constant surface changes, and the familiar uphill finish through the city. The race should splinter sector by sector until only a handful of all-rounders are left to fight up Via Santa Caterina.
The likely winner archetype is a composed all-rounder who can handle gravel risk, repeated surges, and a final uphill punch.
Favorites: The full current startlist puts Demi Vollering, Katarzyna Niewiadoma, Lotte Kopecky, Anna van der Breggen, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, Puck Pieterse, and Elisa Longo Borghini at the center of the race.
