Score

The lack of Spanish teams lining up in the event since 2013 has prevented our locals to take part in the Trofeo Binda. However, all of our three foreigners know the race; from them, Malgorzata Jasinska was the only taking the start in 2017 (39th).

Analysis

The Movistar Team continues to discover big classics from the UCI Women’s WorldTour, as they take part in the 43rd Trofeo Alfredo Binda on Sunday 18th March. The event marked, before the inception of the Strade Bianche, the start of the top-ranked Italian calendar for elite women.

In a beautiful region, north of the country, just next to the Maggiore and Varese lakes, the Blues will tackle a route shorter than their previous competitions’ (131km), yet really intense, with ten climbs that usually make for a very exciting race.

The race is divided into three sections. The opening 20km take the race from its start, in Taino, to the finish, in Cittiglio, on mainly flat roads. A long circuit follows, 37km in length, with the climb of Cunardo (4km, 4,5% average gradient) midway through.

Finally, riders will face four laps of a shorter, 17.8km circuit, with two climbs: the short, sharp Casale (800m, 9%) and the longer ascent to Orino (4.1km, 4.1%). Crested just seven kilometers from the end into the final lap, climbers have a great chance of winning yet are not absolute favourites, as shown by last year’s win by Coryn Rivera into a group sprint.
