Winner of Giro D'Italia Women 2024

Winner of Paris Roubaix Femmes 2022

Olympic Bronze medallist, Multiple National Champion

Elisa Longo Borghini is an Italian road cyclist, currently riding for UCI Women’s WorldTeam Lidl-Trek. She is an all rounder as she can climb, is proficient in the time trial, and has a penchant for getting in a breakaway.

Elisa boasts an impressive palmarès with multiple podiums in her career. Some of her most significant victories include being the first Italian to win the Tour of Flanders in 2015 (which she won again nine years later in 2024), winning two bronze medals at the Olympics (Rio and Tokyo), winning Paris Roubaix Femmes in 2022 and most notably claiming the Maglia Rosa by winning the Giro d’Italia Women in 2024. These are all alongside multiple national titles and WorldTour victories and podiums. The results speak for themselves, and Elisa is still hungry for more. 

Elisa lives and trains in Italy where she grew up and is very family-orientated. She loves nothing more than training around the lakes and mountains near to where she lives.  Her mother was a cross country skier and her brother, Paolo, also competed professionally as a cyclist between 2004 and 2014, so sports performance is in her blood. Her best advice, ‘Remember who you are and where you come from’ is from her parents, and ensures that she is one of the most grounded riders in the peloton.
