Coppa Tuscany Cycling Academy 2026 🇮🇹 (1.1) MJ – Santa Fiora – Chiusdino : 112,3 km
Coppa Tuscany Cycling Academy is a UCI 1.1 classification that unfolds across the rolling, picturesque landscapes of Tuscany, where the roads twist and turn through a patchwork of vineyards, olive groves, and medieval hilltop towns that define the region’s undulating terrain. The course is a mix of short, punchy climbs and longer, gradual ascents, with gradients often hovering around 5–8% on roads that are narrow, winding, and technically demanding. Climbs like those around Siena or San Gimignano feature steep ramps and tight hairpins, forcing riders to constantly accelerate and recover, while the descents are fast and technical, their uneven surfaces and sharp bends requiring precision and control. The flatter sections are rare but offer brief respite before the next climb begins, often punctuated by crosswinds sweeping across the open valleys.
The race dynamics are shaped by these relentless climbs and the tactical battles they inspire, with attacks launching on the steepest ramps or during the most grueling sections, the peloton thinning as gaps open and riders struggle to maintain contact. The final kilometers often feature a decisive climb or a fast, technical descent into the finish, where a reduced group of riders battles it out in a sprint, or a solo rider who has escaped the chaos holds off the chasing pack by a handful of seconds. The Coppa Tuscany Cycling Academy is a race that rewards explosiveness, endurance, and tactical intelligence, capturing the essence of Tuscany’s challenging and scenic roads.
