The Strade Bianche may not be one of cycling’s five monument races, but it always attracts a strong field of riders looking to sharpen their form ahead of the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. Last year, Tadej Pogačar of UAE Team Emirates dominated the race in Italy, and he will return to Tuscany to defend his title.

Pogačar, aiming to become only the second rider to win the race three times, will face tough competition. Among his challengers are 2023 champion Tom Pidcock, Spanish star Mikel Landa, seasoned Ecuadorian Richard Carapaz, and France’s David Gaudu.

In the women’s race, 2024 winner Lotte Kopecky is unlikely to compete, but the field remains packed with talent. Past champions include Italy’s Elisa Longo Borghini, who won in 2017, Dutch legend Anna van der Breggen, who triumphed in 2018, and her compatriot Demi Vollering, the 2023 victor.

You won't want to miss any of the drama throughout the race, so here’s how to watch Strade Bianche live streams online, from anywhere, and potentially for free.

Strade Bianche 2025 live streams around the world

What if you want to watch a 2025 Strade Bianche live stream from your home country, but what if you're not there when the race is on?

Look no further than a VPN (virtual private network). A VPN makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere in the world. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least!

We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is NordVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view a UK service, you'd select UK from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Discovery+ or another streaming service and watch the action.
