The International Coppi and Bartali Week is preparing for a new edition of great technical and sporting caliber, confirming itself as one of the most solid and recognized appointments in the international cycling landscape. The stage race organized by GS Emilia, which will take place from March 25-29, included in the Italian Regional Cup coordinated by the Professional Cycling League, continues to represent a benchmark in the international calendar.

For 2026 as well, the roster of participants is rich and competitive, with teams and riders ready to tackle a varied course with multiple possible solutions.

Among the most anticipated teams will be Ineos Grenadiers, which will field young American Andrew August as their leader, already successful earlier this season.

Great attention also for Team Jayco AlUla, which presents itself with Italian champion Filippo Conca and Alessandro Covi, winner of a stage at the 2022 Giro d'Italia with finish at Passo Fedaia, alongside the reigning mountain bike world champion Alan Hatherly and Swiss champion Mauro Schmid, winner in his career of a Giro d'Italia stage and the International Coppi and Bartali Week 2023.

XDS Astana Team brings quality and experience with Diego Ulissi, eight Giro d'Italia stage wins and a pink jersey in his career.

Notable presence also for Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team, which can count on the speed of Matteo Moschetti, while Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe relies on emerging talent Lorenzo Mark Finn, Under 23 world champion, already prominent among young riders at international level, and sprinter Danny van Poppel (Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe), a rider with a cycling pedigree and Dutch national champion.

From MBH Bank CSB Telecom Fort comes Alessandro Verre, an Italian rider on the rise who, after finishing third in the overall classification at the recent Giro di Sardegna, is called to compete in a high-profile international context.
