✍️ ANTONIA STORMS TO 2ND ON GC AFTER FINAL-STAGE RAID AT GIRO D’ITALIA ✍️

Antonia Niedermaier arrived at the 2026 Giro d’Italia Women with a clear but realistic target. She wanted to “somehow” crack the top five of the general classification (GC), while admitting that she would be “super, super happy with a podium.”

Nine days of racing across northern Italy later, the 23-year-old German more than delivered on that ambition, securing second place on GC after a gutsy and aggressive final stage in which she threw everything at her rivals and ultimately displaced the maglia rosa wearer.

While the GC result was the primary objective, Antonia also added a third third-place finish to her tally in this year’s Giro, once again sprinting to the line from an elite quartet. Italian cycling icon Elisa Longo Borghini (UAD) took a fitting stage victory, ahead of Niamh Fisher-Black (LTK). Demi Vollering (TFS) finished behind Antonia with arms jubilantly aloft, having done more than enough to claim the maglia rosa on the ninth and final day.

A typically composed Antonia was calm in manner, but clearly delighted with the outcome:

“I’m really happy with the result, especially after waiting so long for this podium. Four years ago, I crashed really hard in the Giro and since then, I’ve been trying hard to make it onto the podium. Finally this year, I was able to do it.”

As Antonia references, the Giro d’Italia Women has become a race of particular significance for her, contesting it now for four consecutive seasons. She announced herself in spectacular fashion in 2023 with a breakthrough stage victory on debut, before a heavy crash the following day ended her race prematurely. In 2024, she delivered consistent performances to finish 6th on GC and 2nd in the youth classification, often in support of eventual podium finisher Neve Bradbury. In 2025, she claimed the youth classification title and moved up to 5th on GC. Now, in 2026, she has taken another huge leap upwards, finally landing on the overall podium.

Starting the day third overall – a GC position she would have happily taken – Antonia trailed race leader Anna van der Breggen (SDW) by 1:20 and Vollering by 30 seconds. A near-perfect performance was required to move up any further, but she wasn’t content to simply defend third.
