The Italians know how to live life with a certain flair. This weekend's Strade Bianche was a prime example. This 190 km one day race sends the pro bike racers across 57 km of unique white gravel roads in Tuscany, hence the name Strade Bianche.
In terms of the One Day Classic Races, the Strade Bianche is an infant. This is just the seventh edition of the race and, surprisingly, no Italian had won the race. Until this past Saturday when Moreno Moser took the race by storm attacking the main peleton on the final gravel road section. He bridged to the remainders of the day's break away in the race's final 10 kilometers and then bided his time, finally attacking on the final climb leading into the Piazza del Campo. Ultimately, soloing to victory and driving the Italian Tofosi into a frenzy.
This week's challenge honors Italian style and the strade bianchi with a Super Tuscan matchup.
