Edda Bieberle wins the second stage of the LichtBlick Newcomer Tour 2025

Italian dominance broken at the LichtBlick Newcomer Tour The Italian winning streak at the LichtBlick Newcomer Tour has come to an end.

In the second U17 race held as part of the Lidl Deutschland Tour, three German riders claimed the entire podium. In Magdeburg, Edda Bieberle (Saxony-Anhalt) took the victory ahead of Karla Müller (Brandenburg) and Emilia Pauli (Rhineland-Palatinate). Just the day before in Kassel, Bieberle had finished second, sandwiched between the two Italians Elena D’Agnese and Maddalena Pascut. For Bieberle, the win in Magdeburg was almost a home race – she rides for local club RSV Osterweddingen.

The 46.6-kilometer course started in Wanzleben-Börde, just outside Magdeburg, and with a strong tailwind, the pace was high from the start. As the race entered the city and hit the finishing circuit, Bieberle, Müller and Pauli took control and launched their attack. Unlike the day before in Kassel, which ended in a bunch sprint with few breakaways, Bieberle and Müller managed to stay clear and crossed the line with a lead. They gained 16 seconds on Pauli, while the peloton arrived 23 seconds later at the finish along the Elbe river, cheered on by large crowds at Schleinufer.

Elena D'Agnese wins the first stage of the LichtBlick Newcomer Tour 2025

 

The first stage winner of the LichtBlick Newcomer Tour is Elena D'Agnese.
The young Italian prevailed in the final against Edda Bieberle from the Saxony-Anhalt regional association as well as her teammate Maddalena Pascut.

Bieberle, who competes for RSV Osterweddingen, not only took second place but also claimed the lead in the mountain classification. In the sprint classification, Charlotte Späth (RSV Wanderlust Hofweier) from the Baden regional association is in the lead.

The race was held on a 2.9-kilometer circuit in Kassel, which had to be completed 18 times. After an exciting day with three sprint and three mountain classifications, Karla Müller (RK Endspurt 09 Cottbus) from the Brandenburg regional association took the lead in the overall standings.
