So, now that you know who's got a good chance, let's get off to the race. The Strade Bianche 2020 has a loop-based format, beginning and ending in gorgeous Siena, so the riders will have plenty of views of gorgeous Tuscany. It's not all glamour, though, as this area is chock-full of hills to climb and 11 gnarly gravel portions (which total almost 40 miles) that leave cyclists a lot less clean than the pair shown above.
And before we get to the facts of how to watch Strade Bianche, here's the one last thing to know to "get" the race: Strade Bianche is Italian for "white road" and that name came from the white gravel in Tuscany's Crete Senesi. So, now that you're an expert on the race, here's everything you need to know to watch Strade Bianche 2020 online!
How to watch Strade Bianche 2020 live streams with a VPN
Going on a short trip, via bike or any other means, often means you can't use the streaming methods you normally do, but don't think you can't watch the Strade Bianche 2020 just because it's not on the channels where you are. With a virtual private network, or VPN, you can appear to be surfing the web from your home town (or somewhere that blackouts won't hit), and access the same streaming services you already paid for.
Not sure which VPN is right for you? We've tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. It offers superb speeds and excellent customer service. But you've got other VPN options as well. Here are our top picks.
