What a comeback. After 10 years away, the Philadelphia Cycling Classic returned to Philadelphia with world-class riders from around the globe, packed streets and the kind of energy only this city can bring. Congratulations to our 2026 champions: Italy’s Chiara Consonni, winner of the women’s race, and Germany’s Tim Torn Teutenberg of Lidl-Trek, who took the men’s title. And congratulations to all of the riders who took on the Manayunk Wall, Lemon Hill, Kelly Drive and the Parkway and gave us an incredible day of racing. But Philly, you were part of the show too. From Manayunk and East Falls to Brewerytown, Lemon Hill and the Parkway, you lined the course, cheered these riders on and reminded everyone why Philadelphia is one of the greatest sports cities in the world. And thanks to the support of our sponsors, this was more than a world-class race. It was a world-class free experience for everyone to enjoy. Thank you to former Mayor Michael A. Nutter, honorary co-chair Lisa Nutter, Carlos Rogers and Eric Robbins of Race Street Partners, the organizers, volunteers, nearly 20 City departments and everyone who put in the work to bring this Philadelphia tradition home. A special thank you to Michael Sharp and AmeriGas, Kevin Mahoney and Pam Mahoney and Penn Medicine, University of Pennsylvania Health System, Subaru of America, and all of the sponsors and broadcast partners who helped make this return possible and ensured that fans could experience it all for free. Ten years later, the Classic is back where it belongs!
