Women’s Cycling Grand Prix 2026

The Women's Cycling Grand Prix is a German one-day road race held around Stuttgart and its surrounding region. It is a women's peloton race, not a stage race, and recent editions suggest a sharp, tactical finish. Eleonora Camilla Gasparrini won one edition in a sprint, then secured another victory with a late solo move from a small lead group. The course is selective due to early climbs, where Kasia Niewiadoma sets a strong pace, helping to split the field before the finale. The closing kilometers often feature a series of attacks and counters, with riders hesitating, as seen when Lianne Lippert attacked before Gasparrini's decisive move. Cat Ferguson almost caught Gasparrini on the line, Linda Riedmann secured the final podium spot, and riders like Shari Bossuyt, Niewiadoma, and Letizia Borghesi remained close enough to contend for the top positions behind them.
