2026 GP Industria startlist: Pidcock begins prep for Worlds

Tom Pidcock heads the entries for Sunday's GP Industria & Artigianato. The Pinarello Q36.5 rider comes to Larciano off a mountain bike world title and is building towards the road World Championships in Montréal at the end of the month.

Bahrain-Victorious have entered the strongest line-up so far, with Lenny Martinez, Antonio Tiberi and Damiano Caruso. Tiberi finished eighth here in 2022 and Martinez is one of the better pure climbers in the field on a course that finishes over two steep late ascents.

EF Education-EasyPost bring Neilson Powless, Alex Baudin and Mikkel Frølich Honoré. The team won this race with Ben Healy in 2023 and had Georg Steinhauser in the top ten that year.

UAE Team Emirates-XRG have entered Jan Christen and Igor Arrieta. Isaac del Toro, who won last year's edition, does not appear on the provisional start list.

UAE have taken three of the last five editions. Del Toro won in 2025, Marc Hirschi by five seconds from Guillermo Thomas Silva in 2024, and Diego Ulissi in 2022. Mauri Vansevenant won the 2021 race ahead of Bauke Mollema and Mikel Landa.

Each of the last four editions has been settled by a small group. Del Toro took a sprint from the break last year, Ulissi beat nine riders on the same time in 2022, and Vansevenant, Mollema and Landa were all given the same time in 2021.
