Rasa Polikevičiūtė

Rasa Polikevičiūtė

Rasa Polikevičiūtė is a Lithuanian cycle racer (born September 25, 1970 in Panevėžys). She was one of the first in a long line of Lithuanian cyclists who, together, established Lithuania as one of the powerhouses of women's cycle racing in the 1990s and beyond. One of her Lithuanian cycling contemporaries is her identical twin, Jolanta.

She began cycling at age 13 under the influence of her childhood athletic coach and made her professional debut in 1990. Her top results in the years to come would include an overall victory at the 1997 Women's Challenge and a victory in the 2001 World Road Race Championships.

Along the way, she mastered several languages - besides her native Lithuanian, she also speaks Russian, Italian, and French.
