Memorial Alfredo Martini - Bike race | Pontedera - Terre di Pisa 2026

The Memorial Alfredo Martini is an international road cycling classic in Valdera, the Tuscan area around Pontedera and Peccioli. It takes place in mid-September and runs as a point-to-point race from Pontedera to Peccioli, giving the event a clear inland Tuscany setting. The race is tied to the Giro della Toscana and honors Alfredo Martini, the long-serving coach of the Italian national road cycling team. Pontedera is associated with the Giro della Toscana start and finish, while nearby Peccioli hosts the Coppa Sabatini a few days later, so this part of Terre di Pisa gets a short run of serious road racing.
