Startlist Strade Bianche Donne 2026 | Riders: Ferrand-Prévot, Vos, Vollering, Kopecky, Pieterse, Longo Borghini, Le Court and more!
Cycling
The preliminary startlist for Strade Bianche Donne has been revealed, with many of the biggest names in the women’s peloton preparing to take on the white roads of Tuscany on 7 March.
Among the headline riders expected to line up in Siena are Demi Vollering, Lotte Kopecky, Marianne Vos and Elisa Longo Borghini, with a deep field assembled for one of the most spectacular one-day races of the spring.
The race follows the same dramatic finale as the men’s event, culminating with the steep ascent of Via Santa Caterina before the finish in Siena’s iconic Piazza del Campo. With gravel sectors, punchy climbs and an explosive uphill finale, Strade Bianche Donne has become one of the most prestigious early-season targets on the Women’s WorldTour calendar.

Recent history on the white roads
In recent years, the race has been shaped by some of the most dominant riders in the sport.
Vollering claimed victory in the 2023 and 2025 editions with powerful performances on the Tuscan gravel, while Kopecky triumphed in 2024 after attacking on the final climb into Siena. Both riders return in 2026 among the leading favourites.
Before them, Longo Borghini delivered a memorable win in 2022, attacking on the sterrato roads to take a popular home victory for Italy.
Together, those victories highlight the type of rider who tends to succeed at Strade Bianche Donne: explosive climbers capable of repeated accelerations on the gravel sectors and strong enough to survive the brutal final ramp into the Piazza del Campo.
With several recent winners returning to the startline and another deep field assembled, the 2026 edition promises another high-level battle on the white roads of Tuscany.

- many people advise him to grow slowly and rather do giro and/or vuelta instead of tdf. but i can totally understand that he is not satisfied with taking over once pogi declines, but instead beat him in his prime. so if he goes for tdf again, i‘m all for it. let‘s hope that pogi recovers soon!Ketterechts07-11-2026
- So gracious to offer something no-one would be prepared to pay for. The Giro is not the Tour and doesn’t command the same interest or attract the same “elite” (those willing to pay to be a part of something they consider has ego boosting potential). Roadside viewing will always largely remain free for everyone outside circuits. Introduction of a symbolic entrance to mountain climbs is worthy of exploration. Asking 1-2€ isn’t going to repulse real fans (most will spend 50-100€ on their outing that day all things included) but will prevent a portion of the total knobhead thrillseekers who will join in any large gathering as long as it’s free, just because they’re attracted to crowds, without which it it difficult for them to work up their anti-social behaviour.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- How is radio going to help when someone went over a cliff or bridge or off the roadside into a forest unnoticed and is laying there unconscious?Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- Yep, next we’ll be accusing F1 drivers of avoiding Le Mans.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- But on what is that opinion based? Are you holding him to a different standard than others? Are you saying he should do learn to like something he doesn’t Are you saying he hasn’t achieved enough Are you saying he pretends to be better than his results? It’s actually a really strange opinion to oust if you consider it objectively or rationally. Try applying it to others or yourself by asking if not EVERYONE should then be doing more? Nobody in athletics or swimming gets criticism for not expanding their repertoire when a rival or someone else does. In fact, most who move to another event get accused of running from their rival. Opinions are boring, the reasons behind them are what count.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- for a medical chief to throw things like is just bad. There are already radios which were banned for spectacle. allow radios. Gps trackers are not a complete solutionabstractengineer07-11-2026
- Yeah man...PogiSloFans07-11-2026
- any rider less than 25 whether they are really ready for the position of leadership of GT is probably not the case. I think Pogi himself suffered when he was defeated by Jonas in the TDF twice. But that would be the team's job to ensure support so that they can bounce back. It requires a team and time to get back up and win after getting knocked down.abstractengineer07-11-2026
- I'm very glad he got the big late Quickstep Vuelta win and I hope he has a few left for Euskaltel-Euskadi.flyer07-11-2026
- My memories of Ivan Basso aren't good but I liked his sister Elisa ok.flyer07-11-2026
