The 2026 Trofeo Alfredo Binda - Comune di Cittiglio (officially Trofeo Alfredo Binda - Comune di Cittiglio - Gran Premio Almar) was an Italian road cycling one-day race that took place on 15 March 2026. It was the 50th edition of Trofeo Alfredo Binda and the 6th event of the 2026 UCI Women's World Tour.
The race was won by Dutch rider Karlijn Swinkels of UAE Team ADQ, beating Anna van der Breggen of Team SD Worx–Protime and Mie Bjørndal Ottestad of Uno-X Mobility in a sprint finish.[1] It was Swinkels first victory at World Tour level.[2]
Route
The race took place on a 146.1-kilometre (90.8 mi) course. The race started in Luino on the eastern edge of Lake Maggiore and initially followed the shoreline towards Porto Valtravaglia before turning back towards Germignaga. The route then headed to the Cittiglio finishing circuit, where five laps of the 18.4-kilometre (11.4 mi) took place, with climbs of Casalzuigno (800 m at 6.9%) and Orino (2.5 km at 5%) returning from the previous edition.[3][4]
The route shorted from the original 152.7-kilometre (94.9 mi) length, as the Masciago Primo climb in the first 30 kilometres (19 mi) was omitted due to overnight snowfall.[1]
Teams
Twenty-three teams took part in the event, including fourteen UCI Women's WorldTeams, four UCI Women's ProTeams and five women's continental teams.[5]
