Coppa Agostoni brings punchy Italian autumn racing to the Brianza hills north of Milan, where repeated short climbs in the final circuits sort the contenders.
The 2026 Coppa Agostoni - Giro delle Brianze takes place on October 4 in the Brianza region north of Milan. Named after Bruno Agostoni, a local rider killed in World War II, the race has been held since 1946 and features a route built around the short, steep climbs that characterize this corner of Lombardy.
Adam Yates won in 2025 and Marc Hirschi took the 2024 edition. The Brianza hills north of Milan define this race through repetition: short, steep climbs that repeat in the closing circuits, with gradients steep enough to split the group but not long enough to create a solo breakaway. The 2026 edition tests which rider can handle the cumulative stress and still finish when the final circuit turns decisive.
The race runs through the Brianza hills north of Milan. The closing circuits feature short, steep climbs that repeat, with gradients that regularly hit double digits. Each lap further thins the field. The winner usually emerges from a select group formed on the final circuit, where accumulated fatigue makes each climb harder than it looks on paper.
