The U23 women's cycling championship for Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and Luxembourg was held in Weiswampach on Saturday, with the roads in and around the town dedicated to the four-nation event.

Over a distance of 95.4 kilometres, Switzerland's Lorena Leu emerged as the fastest rider overall. Her compatriot Zoe Schiess finished second, while Liv Wenzel secured a very close third place – and with it, the title of Luxembourg Champion.

It marks Wenzel's second U23 women's national title, following her victory in 2024.

With her overall victory, Lorena Leu also secured the Swiss national title. Germany's Laura Kronburger became national champion with her fourth-place finish in the race, while Tabea Huys was the best-placed Austrian in 13th position and was subsequently awarded the Austrian champion's jersey.
