November 8/20 15:41 pm - Kirchmann 5th overall at Madrid Challenge

Elisa Balsamo )Valcar Travel & Service) won the final stage of the CERATIZIT Challenge held on the Madrid  circuit ahead of Lorena Wiebes (Team Sunweb) and Marta Bastianelli (Alé BTC Ljubljana). Lisa Brennauer (Ceratizit WNT) defended the leader’s red jersey and won the overall ahead of Elisa Longo Borghini (Trek Segafredo) and Lorena Wiebes.

The riders where full gas with many attacks from the start in the Spanish capital city. Alessia Vigilia (CRONOS Casa Dorada) had to abandon after an unfortunate crash in the first laps. Meanwhile, Lisa Brennauer and Lorena Wiebes were battling for the overall in the intermediate sprints.

After many breakaway attempts, Elisa Longo Borghini attacked on her own with about  50km to go. She opened a 30s gap and held off the peloton until many teams upped the ante and reeled in the Italian star with 13km to the finish.

The pack remained bunched until the final lap. In the sprint, Balsamo made the most of her pure speed to take the win ahead of Wiebes and Bastianelli. Brennauer took the 7th place and her consistent placings in the intermediate sprint earned her both the overall victory and the points classification. “It was a tough fight today, but I found that the harder the race became, the best was for me”, Brennauer said, highlighting the “awesome job” of her teammates to repeat her success from 2019 as the overall winner of the CERATIZIT Challenge.

 

Leah Kirchmann (Team Sunweb) finished 20th on the stage and finished 5th in the overall.
