The 2026 Grand Prix San Salvador was won by Francesca Hall (Roland Cogeas Cycling Team), who proved strongest on the final climb to take first place after covering the demanding 74.9-kilometer route between San Marcos and Puerta del Diablo.
The 30-year-old Briton recorded a time of 2 hours and 53 minutes, completing the mountainous course, which featured a grueling 20-kilometer climb with an average gradient of 7.1%, pushing the 95 cyclists who started to their limits.
The podium in the Salvadoran race was completed by Ukrainian Yuliia Biriukova (Laboral Kutxa – Fundación Euskadi) and Italian Irene Cagnazzo (Vini Fantini – BePink), who finished second and third, respectively. The best Colombian finisher was Paula Patiño (Laboral Kutxa – Fundación Euskadi), in 8th place, 1 minute and 14 seconds behind the winner.
The next race in El Salvador will be this Sunday with the Grand Prix El Salvador, another one-day race of 76 kilometers, which will take place in the district of Santa Elena.
