Liane Lippert has extended her contract with Movistar Team through the end of the 2028 season, reaffirming her commitment to the Spanish squad where she has become a cornerstone of success in recent years. The German rider, who joined the team in 2023, cited a strong sense of belonging and shared ambition as key reasons for her decision.
“Renewing with Movistar Team feels very natural because it means staying at home,” Lippert said. “I’ve always felt very comfortable in this team — it’s like a family. I’m really happy with the way we’re working and improving, so I’m more motivated than ever to stay here for the coming years.
My main goals for the next seasons will be to help the team achieve victories and good results, while continuing to enjoy racing and stay aggressive on the bike.”
Since her arrival, Lippert has evolved into one of Movistar’s most reliable leaders. Her achievements include stage victories in both the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia, a German national championship title, and wins at the Tour de Romandie and the Tre Valli Varesine classic.
The 2025 season has seen her build on that success, with a podium finish in the Tour of Flanders and a top-five result in La Flèche Wallonne, further cementing her place among the sport’s elite.
“Liane has proven herself not just as a reliable rider, but as a genuine leader in high-stakes races,” said team manager Sebastián Unzué. “She’s become a cornerstone of our strategy and a source of confidence for the team.”
Lippert’s aggressive racing style and tactical intelligence have made her a formidable presence across a wide range of terrain. Her ability to thrive in both stage races and one-day classics has made her one of the most versatile riders in the women’s peloton.
With a new long-term contract in place and a deepening partnership with Movistar Team, Lippert is well-positioned to lead the team through a highly competitive era in women’s cycling. As the season continues with more major targets on the horizon, her presence promises to be a decisive factor in the team’s pursuit of success.
