Finally, the Italian time trial championships have found a home! The official statement from the Italian Cycling Federation reads: "It is hereby communicated that, by Presidential Decree no. 58 of October 8, 2026, the assignment of the 2026 Italian Individual Time Trial Championships, reserved for the categories Men/Women Juniors, Men/Women Cadets, Under 23 and Elite/U23 Women, has been awarded to the VELO CLUB ESPERIA PIASCO A.S.D. (code 01W0163) with the support of ExtraGiro Race, on October 24, 2026 in Piasco (CN).

The Presidential Decree simultaneously authorizes the exemption for participation in the Italian Individual Time Trial Championship for athletes belonging to the Men/Women Juniors and Men/Women Cadets categories, taking into account the conclusion of road racing activity.

The UCI also wishes to express its gratitude to the U.C.A.B. 1925 BIELLA A.S.D. association for having made itself available to organize the Italian Time Trial Championship.
