The women's 2011 Liberty Classic in Philadelphia had everything needed to create a great pro bike race - a long solo breakaway, a calculated chase by the field, and a dramatic field sprint seeing the current world champion Giorgia Bronzini (Team Colavita-Forno d'Asolo) winning ahead of Shelley Olds (Diadora-Pasta Zara) and Jennifer Purcell (Team Danbury-Audi) in two hours, 28 minutes, 28 seconds.
