World champion and UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider Tadej Pogacar won a record fourth Strade Bianche title as he made a triumphant start to his 2026 season on Saturday, with teenage French sensation Paul Seixas second.

Pogacar bags record fourth Strade Bianche title

Pogacarmade atypically devastating long-range break around 80-kilometres from the finish, after which it was a procession to the line in Siena for his third win in a row there.

In doing so, the four-time Tour de France winner proved once again that his appetite to triumph — and dominantly — has not diminished despite his myriad successes.

One of the 27-year-old Slovenian's main targets for this season comes in a week's time at the Milan-San Remo one-day classic -- one of only two of the five Monument races he is yet to win.

Seixas, 19, came home in second place with the young Mexican Isaac Del Toro third after 207km racing through picturesque rolling Tuscan countryside dusted with white gravel roads.

Pogacar made his decisive move with around 80km still to race -- just as he had done two years ago -- on the Monte Sante Marie gravel section.
