rdf:langString The 2021 Coppa Sabatini (also known as the Gran Premio città di Peccioli) was the 69th edition of the Coppa Sabatini road cycling one day race, which was held on 16 September 2021 as part of the 2021 UCI Europe Tour and the 2021 UCI ProSeries calendars. The race's hilly route covered 210.82 kilometres (131.00 mi) in and around Peccioli, located in the Province of Pisa in Tuscany, and had three parts, each of which started and finished in Peccioli. The first part was a 47.83-kilometre (29.72 mi) circuit that featured the hills of Montefoscoli, Terricciola, Lajatico, and the Piazza del Popolo hill in Peccioli. Riders then took on five laps of a 25.21-kilometre (15.66 mi) circuit with all the aforementioned hills except Lajatico. The race concluded with three laps of a 12.29-kilometre (7.64 mi) circuit, which finished atop the Via Mazzini hill in Peccioli. With around 35 kilometres (22 mi) to go, as the peloton was beginning the first of three laps of the final circuit, a group of eight riders made a decisive move, attacking from the peloton. Neilson Powless (EF Education–Nippo) was the first to try a solo attack, but he was brought back with under 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to go. In the final kilometre, Gianni Moscon (Ineos Grenadiers) tried to accelerate away but was quickly closed down, before Powless's teammate Michael Valgren, winner of the Giro della Toscana the day before, made what would be the winning acceleration. Only Sonny Colbrelli (Team Bahrain Victorious), the recently crowned European road race champion, was able to follow Valgren. In the finishing straight, Valgren continued to accelerate, distancing Colbrelli for the victory. From the rest of the contending octet, Mathieu Burgaudeau (Team TotalEnergies) finished third.
