The female podium is entirely Lombard, with Flanderslove Fiorenzo Magni asserting the credentials of its young champions like Anna Bonassi, Emma Cocca, Beatrice Trabucchi, and Anna Mucciarini: their time was 23'07''27, already suggested by a first intermediate split under 8 minutes. Starting from the blocks in the last batch, the athletes from the Brescia-based team snatched the partial lead from the cycling school Verso l'Iride, who had completed the 15-kilometer course in 23'36''35. Third place went to Cesano Maderno, which also includes Vivienne Cassata, daughter of showgirl and cycling enthusiast Justine Mattera. These are absolutely the first road national jerseys awarded in 2025.

"The Liberazione is an event of great importance for the Federation, and I thank Claudio Terenzi for bringing it back to high levels –said the National President of the Italian Cycling Federation Cordiano Dagnoni, present at the race - It's a race that I've had in my heart since I was an athlete because I raced it, bringing home beautiful memories. We are in Rome during these days of mourning for the Holy Father's death, and I am convinced that from up there, as the great sportsman he was, he will support the event's protagonists during these three days".

After today's appetizer, tomorrow the 78th GP della Liberazione will kick into high gear with youth categories at the starting line. At 9:30, the Junior Liberazione Cavaliere starts: Marchi (Borgo Molino) against Magagnotti (Contri Autozai), Baruzzi (Aspiratori Otelli) against Mengarelli (Fratelli Giorgi) and many other duels that will intersect among the tight curves and challenging short climbs in the heart of the Capital; curiosity also for CPS of Clemente Cavaliere, main sponsor of the Junior race, for Veleka of patron Terenzi, whose Belarusian athlete Slesarenko has surprised everyone at the start of the season, and for some expected foreign teams. Live TV from 10:45 on Bike Channel. At 12:30 it will be the Liberazione Allievi's turn, with many teams remaining in Rome from the previous day's team time trial: live streaming on Facebook and Youtube channels "Toscana Sprint" from around 13:50. At 15:30, the Liberazione Esordienti will see young talents in a dream scenario: live streaming on Facebook and Youtube channels "Toscana Sprint" from around 16:00. Closing this central day, at 17:00 will be the Liberazione Amateurs.

Friday 25th will be the highlight. At 9:00, the Coati Liberazione Women (1.1) valid as the fourth female stage of the Regions Cup: the top team on paper is UAE Adq, last year's winner with a triple podium finish that constituted the first highlight of a fantastic season for Paris 2024 Olympic gold medalist Chiara Consonni, while in this edition they will focus on Sofia Bertizzolo and Sofie van Rooijen; challenging the title will mainly be another World Tour team like the Swiss Roland of Giorgia Vettorello, and numerous Italian Continental teams that will allow us to see athletes like Linda Laporta (Bepink), Lara Crestanello (Born to Win BTC), Eleonora La Bella (Aromitalia Vaiano) or track rising star Anita Baima, with Horizons club. No live broadcast is planned, but a delayed broadcast on Rai Sport.

At 12:00, one of the most significant moments regarding the social aspect beyond the sporting one of the Liberazione: the "Bike 4 Fun - donation ride" that will allow anyone who wants to spend a carefree hour on a bicycle to pedal in the heart of the Capital; the Bike 4 Fun is organized in collaboration with ANED Sport and AIDO to raise awareness on the topic, always too little discussed and known, of organ donation.

At 14:00, the 78th edition of the "queen race" of the GP Liberazione: what was once for amateurs and, after the international category change, is now reserved for Under 23. Almost all Italian Continental teams and several foreign ones are present: VF Bardiani Csf Faizan is here, as are the "must-see" teams from UAE and Bahrain... Turconi (Piva winner and Sanremo breakaway), Bessega, Belletta, Giaimi, Stella, Oioli, Cipollini jr. These are just a small part of the names we'll find on the start list of a race that traditionally projects winners towards professionalism (the post-Covid honor roll reads Gazzoli, Uhlig, Romele, Donati, the latter moving from Biesse Carrera to Red Bull academy) and is considered a Spring World Championship for U23. Live TV on Bike Channel at 15:15.

The cherry on top, at 18:30, the 10 km running race (both competitive and non-competitive) in collaboration between Terenzi Sport Eventi and Appia Run.

Setting up and dismantling the structures around the Terme di Caracalla during the two days of GP Liberazione will be young people performing public utility work under the aegis of the ALETES association, consolidating the civil commitment of Terenzi Sport Eventi connected to the purely sporting movement.

The event enjoys the patronage of the Ministry for Sport and Youth, CONI Lazio, American Chamber of Commerce, and the support of the Lazio Region, the Department of Sport, Major Events, Tourism and Fashion of Roma Capitale, Sport e Salute, Istituto per il Credito Sportivo e Culturale.
