Strade Bianche men's and women's races came to a conclusion with Dutch compatriots Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) and Chantal van den Broek-Blaak (SD Worx) securing titles in Siena, Italy on Saturday.
The events, which were held in August last year as part of the revised calendar, took place in their usual early-March slot and presented the two pelotons with beautiful, sunny, spring weather for 136km of racing for the women and 184km for the men.
