Strade Bianche 2025 results
Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) lived up to his status as outright favourite and won Strade Bianche for the third time in 2025, but he had to bounce back from a high-speed crash that sent him sliding across the tarmac and into a bramble-filled culvert with 50km to race.
The world champion got back up, bridged back to Tom Pidcock (Q36.5) and on the penultimate gravel sector, Pogačar left the Olympic mountain bike champion behind and soloed to the win.
