73rd Gran Premio città di Peccioli – Coppa Sabatini 2025 🇮🇹 (1.Pro) ME – Peccioli – Peccioli : 197,6 km
The Coppa Sabatini is a late season road bicycle race held annually in Province of Pisa, Italy. From 2005 to 2019, the race was organised as a 1.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour. In 2020, it was added to the UCI ProSeries, upgrading its classification to 1.Pro.
Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) claimed his third victory of the week, adding the Coppa Sabatini to his palmares after winning the Giro della Toscana on Wednesday and the GP Industria & Artigianato on the weekend.
Del Toro leapt away from his two breakaway companions to the victory. Cofidis’ Benjamin Thomas finished second and Ben Granger (Mg.K Vis Construzioni e Ambiente) was third.
Sunny skies graced the Coppa Sabatini peloton for the 197.6-kilometre race around Peccioli. The day’s early breakaway went from the gun with Alexandre Balmer (Solution Tech-Vini Fantini), Samuele Zoccarato (Polti-VisitMalta), Valentin Retailleau (TotalEnergies), Simon Dalby (Uno-X Mobility), Edoardo Cipollini and Luca Creti (MBH Bank Ballan CSB), Edgar Cadena (Petrolike) and Granger making the move.
They gained a maximum of four minutes before the peloton closed in over the last few laps.
With 36km to go, a split formed behind the breakaway, with Marc Hirschi (Tudor), Jan Christen and Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates-XRG), Jefferson Cepeda (EF Education-EasyPost), Natnael Tasfatsion (Movistar), Paul Miquel (Kern Pharma), Davide Piganzoli (Polti-VisitMalta), Benjamin Thomas (Cofidis), Christian Scaroni (XDS Astana), Alexandre Delettre (TotalEnergies) and Francesco Busatto (Intermarché-Wanty) chasing them at 11 seconds with 24km to go.
As the chase group closed in, Cadena and Balmer attacked and held off the chasers until 12km to go. There was a larger peloton only 35 seconds behind, so Christen began drilling the pace to break up the lead group.
With 6.8km to go, Thomas attacked and pulled away Del Toro and Granger, and with 2.3km to go, the trio had 20 seconds over the chasers.
Heading into the final climb, Del Toro made his move while Thomas was looking the wrong way and the Frenchman couldn’t react quick enough and had to watch as the Mexican celebrated his third straight victory.
