Results Coppa Sabatini 2025 | Hattrick for Isaac del Toro as Mexican makes it three wins in a row on Italian soil
Cycling
UAE Team Emirates - XRG's Isaac del Toro has made it a hattrick of Autumn classic wins in Italy, backing up his triumphs at the GP Industria & Artigianato and the Giro della Toscana, the Mexican has now taken victory at the 2025 Coppa Sabatini too!
10 riders broke clear early to form the breakaway of the day, including the likes of Samuele Zoccarato (Team Polti VisitMalta), Valentin Retailleau (Team TotalEnergies), Simon Dalby (Uno-X Mobility) and the British rider Ben Granger (Mg.K Vis Costruzioni e Ambiente). For a large part of the day, their advantage over the peloton was more than four minutes, but by 50km to go, the gap had already been cut to just over a minute.
With the break still holding strong together though, they managed to reignite their pace at the front of the race and extend their advantage back out to over two minutes heading into the last 35km. As the attacks then started at the front of the bunch, the time gap was slashed again, with an elite group breaking free of the peloton and leading the chase, including the likes of Marc Hirschi, Jan Christen, Isaac del Toro and Richard Carapaz among others.
Thanks to this acceleration behind, just 2 riders remained out ahead into the last 15km - those being Alexandre Balmer and Edgar David Cadena, with the duo holding around 10 seconds on the chase and 35 on the main peloton. With 12km to go, they were swallowed up by the Hirschi group.
Not waiting for the final climb, Del Toro launched an attack with around 7km to go bringing Benjamin Thomas and the impressive Granger - who had survived from the early break - clear with him. As the final kicker to the line began inside the last kilometre, the trio were around 30 seconds clear of their chasers. In the fight for the line it was then Del Toro who took victory ahead of Thomas.

- I know, their headlines can be so misleading. Pidcock had a great season with 5 wins. and some solid 2nds. no reason to take away from that with a fake headline.mij08-11-2026
- You can clearly see the the posture change from slightly sitting to again out of the saddle while changing of gears in the video of the sprintabstractengineer08-11-2026
- He has already beaten Pogi twice in the TDF. the achievement is over. He cannot beat Pogi now and he only has a few years left at the top. Win Giro and compete in the TDF, maximise palmares.abstractengineer08-11-2026
- Just looked again at the photo. Yeah I stand by that. If MS had fallen over in Brands direction I don’t even think she would have hit her. You must be a UCI race commissioner. I’ll be sure to check my sock height should I ever see you on a ride. Looks like everyone else on here sees what I see.mij08-11-2026
- I said looking at the photo it doesn’t appear she deviated. Chill out, not stating my word is the final judgement. Just commenting that based on the photo I don’t see it. And BTW the Dutch coach even said she didn’t impede her.mij08-11-2026
- Blah Blah Blah !frieders308-11-2026
- MS said she was changing gears so that caused her slight deviation. Nothing was intentional.frieders308-11-2026
- How can you use a photo post incident to judge the incident itself (which is not hard to find if you’re prepared to invest the same amount of time in searching as writing that comment? It’s harsh but technically right even though this or worse is not always sanctioned in every race. The two things that went against MS (who unfortunately for her would still have won without making her mistake) are that it was not a bunch sprint where there could have been an overlooked incident or mitigating circumstances explaining a deviation. Everything was focused on just those 2, Schreiber was riding beautifully balanced which made her sudden deviation look unnatural stroke as if it could have been in some part intentional whilst she was slowly drifting ever closer towards the barrier to a point that would have reached obstruction level. In her defence, it might have been the realisation she was heading towards that that made her react suddenly and caused the deviation involuntarily. In any case, congratulations to her for the ride of her life, in people’s minds she will be credited for it.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- Good boy Obviously doesn’t need that much help dealing with pressure, as some have suggested. Wiser (and humbler) than many far further along their careers. About offering him the moon, recently someone came up with an explanation of the downfall of a football great (either referring to Maradona or Portuguese Ronaldo) saying it was kind of normal after coming back from the moon, except that others, including some who actually did go to the moon like Armstrong (Neil in case anyone is too switched off to realise) didn’t go through any of the same motions after coming back. A lot of how you deal with situations has less to do with the situation than with your character.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
