Description

The 2026 Strade Bianche was a road cycling one-day race that took place on 7 March 2026 in Tuscany, Italy. It was the 20th edition of the Strade Bianche and the fifth event of the 2026 UCI World Tour.

The race was won by Slovenian rider Tadej Pogačar of UAE Team Emirates XRG for a record fourth time, and for the third year in succession. Pogačar won the race following a solo attack with around 78 km (48 mi) remaining.

Route
The race started and finished in Siena, Italy. Taking place over 201 kilometres (125 mi), the course included 64 km (40 mi) of 'strade bianche' gravel roads spread over fourteen sectors. The route had 17.7 km (11.0 mi) fewer gravel roads than the 2025 edition, and was around 15 km (9.3 mi) shorter in overall distance – organisers reversing changes from 2024 onwards that made the race significantly longer. The race finished on the Piazza del Campo, after a steep climb up Via Santa Caterina with a maximum gradient of 16%.

Prior to the race, the Colle Pinzuto sector was dedicated to Pogačar, following his third victory at the race in 2025.
