First run in 1906, the Gran Piemonte is now in its 108th edition and is the final big race before the climax of the Italian Autumn Classics at Il Lombardia on Saturday. Here’s where to watch 2024 Gran Piemonte live streams online from anywhere – including any free streams.
With no Pogacar on the start list the peloton can breath a sign of relief and also start to believe that one of them could win a race for a change. Taking the mantle of favorite from his stellar team mate will be Marc Hirschi who has been on an extraordinary winning spree himself and will be keen to add another Italian Classic to his bulging palmares.
In a race that favours an allrounder who can climb and finish strong from a small bunch, there are multiple other riders in the mix including true specialists such as Richard Carapaz, Micheal Mathews and Tom Skujins.
Following the dire weather that forced the cancellation of Tre Valli Varesine on Tuesday thankfully conditions look better today so we will see some racing.

What is the 2024 Gran Piemonte Route?
One of the easier of the Autumn classics, on paper at least, the route of Gran Piemonte doesn't feature as many savage climbs as its peers but is still far far from flat. Starting in Valdengo just outside Biella the route works its way eastward heading to the highpoint of the day the Passo della Colma.
From the summit of this climb there are 62km to the finale in Borgomanero and two further peaks to cross at Cremosina and Traversagna. With the climbing done the race passes over the finish line for the first time then sets out for a further 11km loop before crossing it for a second time to decide the winner.

What are the Gran Piemonte 2024 predictions?
With no Pogacar, who is skipping the race to concentrate on Lombardy, the title of favourite goes to Marc Hirshi who if it wasn’t for the exploits of his extraordinary team mate would be the stand out rider of the late part of the Season.
Pushing him all the way will be the likes of Richard Carapaz, Tim Wellens, Alberto Bettiol and Micheal Mathews amongst others, in a race that favours an all round rider who can manage the climbs and pack a decent sprint.
