35th Gran Premio Della Liberazione Donne 2026 🇮🇹 (1.1) WE – Rome – Rome : 96 km
A 1.1 race where the cobbles don’t just rattle—they judge. Rome’s streets curve like a held breath, the Tiber glinting under a sky heavy with history, the walls of the city whispering names of those who fought here. The peloton moves in a single, electric pulse, their tires humming against the stones, their shadows stretching long and thin on the ancient pavement. The climbs are short, sharp, the kind that don’t break legs but will, their gradients steep enough to make even the strongest riders taste iron. The locals don’t cheer—they remember, their silence a weight heavier than any applause. This isn’t a race; it’s a ride through the heart of liberation, where every corner is a monument, every descent a reckoning. The finish comes not with a sprint but with a gasp, the riders crossing the line not as victors but as witnesses. Here, the road doesn’t reward speed—it demands memory. And when the dust settles, the only thing left is the quiet certainty that the stones will always remember.
Swiss rider Jasmin Liechti (Nexetis) took her first victory as a professional on Saturday, winning the Gran Premio Della Liberazione Donne in Rome from a solo move.
Liechti won with a gap of 16 seconds to 18-year-old Magdalena Leis (UAE Development Team), with her Nexetis teammate Nina Kessler taking third on the day from the group sprint 40 seconds down on the winner.
The 23-year-old had already impressed in 2026 so far, taking third at the Clasica de Almeria, 16th at Scheldeprijs, and taking multiple wins at the national or 1.2 level.
