Les Strade Bianche, les routes blanches, désormais longues de 215 km tracés autour de Sienne, accueillent samedi la cinquième épreuve du WorldTour cycliste. Ses quinze tronçons de chemins en gravillons, soit un total de 72 km, constituent autant de raidillons dans la campagne Toscane. Ce redoutable parcours offre des courses mémorables. Un coup d’œil au palmarès finit par convaincre les plus sceptiques de la qualité de l’événement. On y retrouve Fabian Cancellara, triple lauréat, Michal Kwiatkowski, vainqueur à deux reprises, mais aussi Philippe Gilbert, Tiesj Benoot et récemment Julian Alaphilippe, Wout van Aert, Mathieu Van der Poel, Tadej Pogacar et Tom Pidcock.

La 18e édition, de ce que d’aucuns appellent le 6e Monument du cyclisme, sera l’occasion de voir la rentrée en compétition de Tadej Pocagar. Le Slovène n’a plus couru depuis le 7 octobre et son succès dans le Tour de Lombardie. Le N.1 mondial au classement UCI a choisi de retarder sa rentrée en raison de son programme 2024 qui prévoit d’enchaîner Tour d’Italie (4-26 mai) et Tour de France (29 juin-21 juillet). Le leader de la formation UAE Team Emirates, vainqueur en 2022 après une échappée de 50 km, sera le favori. Il pourra compter sur des équipiers en forme, Tim Wellens, Marc Hirschi et Jan Christen.

Pidcock, lauréat en 2023, et Kwiatkowski sont les atouts des INEOS Grenadiers. Alaphilippe se voit offrir l’occasion de redorer son blason chez Soudal Quick-Step. Le champion d’Europe Christophe Laporte et Sepp Kuss sont leaders des Visma.

On suivra les débuts de Lennert Van Eetvelt (Lotto Dstny) et du petit grimpeur français Lenny Martinez (Groupama-FDJ), lauréat mercredi du Trophée Laigueglia. Il devrait être à l’aise sur les chemins blancs et encore plus sur la rampe d’arrivée de 700 mètres à 9,1 % de moyenne qui mène à la célébrissime Piazza del Campo.

Comment suivre cette course ?

Le départ réel de cette course sera donné à 11h15 à Sienne. L’arrivée sur la Piazza Del Campo, toujours à Sienne, est prévue entre 16h29 et 17h04 en fonction de l’allure de la course.
