Strade Bianche 2026 live streams: How to watch cycling online for FREE

The Strade Bianche 2026 live streams are most notable for Tadej Pogačar. Not only is the famous one-day road race the Slovenian’s first event of the 2026 season, it also gives the 27-year-old a chance to move out on his own with a record four titles in Tuscany, central Italy.

Pogačar has crossed the line first on three occasions, level with Fabian Cancellara, and will line up again trying to put daylight between him and the Swiss rider. The four-time Tour de France champion won’t have it all his own way, though, with two-time Olympic mountain bike champion Tom Pidcock taking to the roads this season in an attempt to dethrone the Slovenian great.

Isaac del Toro, Pogačar’s UAE teammate, may also have something to say for a place on the podium, while 19-year-old world junior time trial champion Paul Seixas will also be on the start line.

In the women’s race, keep an eye out for Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, another Tour winner who starts her 2026 season at the Strade Bianche.
