About GP Industria & Artigianato
GP Industria & Artigianato is a men's one-day bike race held each September in Italy as part of the ProSeries calendar. The race sits in the late-season window when form is uneven and the peloton is split between those chasing late results and those already winding down.
This is Italian one-day racing in the season's closing stretch, when the calendar thins and the race often becomes a proving ground for riders hunting form or salvaging their year. The September date means weather can turn, motivation varies, and the finale tends to reward those who can read the race rather than simply overpower it. It is not a Monument, but it carries the texture of Italian racing: tactical, sharp, and capable of producing surprise.

GP Industria & Artigianato route
The course typically features rolling terrain and a finale that demands sharp positioning rather than sustained climbing power. Expect repeated accelerations, narrow roads, and a finish that can be decided by a small group or a well-timed move in the closing kilometers. The race rarely settles into a predictable rhythm, which means the final hour often sees multiple surges as riders test each other's legs and attention. Weather in September can add another variable, turning technical sections into selection points. This is not a race won by the strongest climber or the fastest sprinter alone, but by the rider who can navigate the chaos of the finale and still have something left when it matters.
