In a dramatic Coppa Bernocchi held on October 5, 2026, Noa Isidore sprinted to victory ahead of Tommaso Dati in a chaotic finale. The 178 km Italian one-day race concluded in Legnano, where a crash with around 700 meters remaining opened the field and reshuffled the sprint dynamics.

Isidore, riding for Decathlon CMA CGM, navigated the split bunch expertly. He shot through the middle in the closing meters to overtake Dati and secure his third professional win. Marijn van den Berg of EF Education EasyPost completed the podium in third place.

The crash late in the race involved notable riders, including Ben Swift of Netcompany Ineos, which contributed to the disarray among the sprinters. Despite the disruption, Isidore maintained composure to deliver a decisive and powerful finish.

This win marks a notable moment in Isidore’s early career. In just his second season with Decathlon CMA CGM and his third pro victory, he has shown maturity and race awareness beyond his years.

Coppa Bernocchi, featuring a punchy route in the Lombardy region, remains a highlight of the Italian autumn classics calendar. Isidore’s aggressive sprint and ability to navigate the turmoil underline his growing presence among the emerging talents in pro cycling.
