Strade Bianche only started in 2007, but it quickly became known around the world and was added to the UCI World Tour; here's where and how you can watch the live streaming of the 2020 Strade Bianche.

The top runners for Strade Bianche 2020 start with the defending champ: France's Julien Alaphilippe, representing Deceuninck-Quick-Step. Behind him (by a narrow margin) are Dutchman Mathieu van der Pol (Alpecin Phoenix) and Swiss-born Jakob Fuglsang (WorldTeam Astana).

Now that we know who stands a chance, let's get to the race. The Strade Bianche 2020 takes place in a loop format, beginning and ending in gorgeous Siena. However, it is not all glamorous courses. The area has a lot of uphill climbs and 11 gravel roads (totaling about 40 miles).

And before I show you how to watch the Strade Bianche, one last thing you should know to "understand" the race: Strade Bianche means "white road" in Italian, and its name comes from the white gravel road in the Creta Senesi of Tuscany. Here's what you need to know to watch Strade Bianche 2020 online!

Not sure which VPN is right for you? We tested a variety of services and chose ExpressVPN as the best VPN overall. They offer great speed and excellent customer service. However, there are other VPN options out there. Here are our top picks.
