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 Costruzioni e Ambiente) was third.

"It’s an amazing feeling to finish this week with three wins in Italy," Del Toro said. "I felt strong in the final and when I saw an opportunity, I committed. The team rode brilliantly—positioning me, keeping me protected, and making sure I could deliver in the finale. To win here in Peccioli, in this race, means a lot."

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.
