Strade Bianche Junior
Future Legends

The excitement of the great cycling classic also reaches the youngest riders. In 2026, Strade Bianche Junior returns for its third edition—an initiative designed to introduce children to the world of Strade Bianche and, more broadly, to the values of sport and cycling, while also addressing road safety and environmental education.

A series of activities, created in collaboration with the Promotion Commission of the Tuscany Regional Committee of the Italian Cycling Federation (FCI) and the Società Ciclistica Pedale Senese, will take place in Siena at the Race Village during the Strade Bianche and Gran Fondo Strade Bianche weekend, scheduled for 7–8 March.

Regulations

Strade Bianche Junior is ready to welcome the Future Legends – the young legends of the future of Strade Bianche and cycling – to share moments of fun and learning inspired by the values of sport.
