Giro della Toscana 2026 Preview: Tuscan Hills and Late-Season Sharpness
Giro della Toscana 2026 brings hilly one-day racing to Tuscany on September 9. The memorial to Alfredo Martini anchors a race that rewards aggressive riders willing to attack on short, sharp climbs in the final hour.
Giro della Toscana - Memorial Alfredo Martini returns for a 2026 edition on September 9. The continental-level field typically mixes WorldTour riders chasing form with local professionals defending home roads, creating an unpredictable dynamic where local knowledge meets international ambition.
Isaac del Toro won the 2025 edition, continuing a pattern of young, aggressive riders succeeding in this race. The Tuscan hills offer enough climbing to shed pure sprinters without turning the race into a pure climber's affair. The finish often comes down to a small group, and the winner is someone who can time a late attack or win a reduced sprint. The memorial to Alfredo Martini, who directed Italy's national team for decades, gives the race a quiet weight beyond its calendar classification.
