The Women's WorldTour began at Strade Bianche on Saturday, March 9 in Siena, Italy for what was both an opportunity to secure the first victory of the 23-event series and the early leader's jersey.
The women once again raced along the white gravel roads and over the sharp hills in Tuscany, and while it was breathtakingly scenic to watch, it was also one of the most unpredictable races of the season – a spectacle for both racers and fans.
