Trofeo Alfredo Binda – Comune di Cittiglio is one of the oldest events on the women’s calendar, and the Italian race, which has a reputation for providing a dynamic attacking competition, will be the seventh round of the Women’s WorldTour in 2023.
The field will be hoping for a smoother route to the starting line than the sixth. Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx) won a shortened race of 94 kilometres after Ronde van Drenthe was struck by snow and uncertainty. Wiebe’s victory also moved her into first place in the top-tier series, but given that she isn’t racing at Trofeo Alfredo Binda, it could easily find a new owner at the Italian race.

Trofeo Alfredo Binda Preview
The March 19 race which has a habit of either finishing in a reduced bunch sprint or with a solo winner,last year began to the south of the Cittiglio finish line, in Cocquio Trevisago, but this year will set out on Sunday from further to the north, on the shores of Lake Maggiore. Following the start line in Maccagno, the race will proceed to Porto Valtravaglia before making a U-turn back toward Germignaga before dropping down to complete the crucial final half of the race on the same route as last year.
The 139km race, which first took place in 1974, will end with four circuits of the 18km finishing circuit, which will include the Casalzuigno climb and the ascent to Orino on the way to the Cittiglio finish line, where we will find out whether an attack or sprint will provide the winner in 2023. In any case, it’s likely to be an action-packed battle to the finish line, with the opportunity-laden finishing circuits and a slew of strong choices among the teams on the start list fueling the fire.
