Strade Bianche 2023 in pictures

Though only 16 years old, and half that for the women’s version, Strade Bianche has quickly risen to the top of most cycling fans’ must-watch lists owing to its unpredictable racing and breathtaking views.

Year in and year out, photographers find new ways to show off the race’s namesake white Tuscan roads, interspersed between rolling hills and ancient cities, with an iconic finish into Siena’s Piazza del Campo. And no other photographers do the race justice quite like Ashley and Jered Gruber.

Enjoy the 2023 edition through their lens, and relive the epic battle that gave us a 1-2 finish for SD Worx’s Demi Vollering and Lotte Kopecky.
