Coppa Sabatini 2026 Preview: Uphill Finish Through Peccioli's Historic Streets
Coppa Sabatini 2026 returns to Peccioli on September 10 with a ProSeries field. The uphill finish through the hilltop town has recently rewarded Isaac del Toro and Marc Hirschi.
Coppa Sabatini 2026 brings the ProSeries peloton to Peccioli for a race that dates back to 1952. The route rolls through Tuscan terrain southeast of Pisa before converging on the hilltop finish, where the road climbs through the historic center on gradients steep enough to separate the field but short enough that positioning into the base matters as much as climbing strength.
Isaac del Toro won in 2025, continuing a run of young, sharp winners. Marc Hirschi took back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024. The race rewards riders who can read when to commit rather than those who simply follow wheels. The final kilometers are technical, with tight corners and uneven gradients through Peccioli's narrow streets.
