Longo Borghini Wins the Overall
After a 16 year drought an Italian rider wins the Corsa Rosa. Kopecky was dropped on the final ramp in L'Aquila at the end of another exciting duel. Final stage was won by to Kimberley Le Court, first Mauritian athlete ever to win at the Giro
Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Tre) brings back to Italy the throne of the Giro d'Italia Women 16 years after Fabiana Luperini. The national champion sealed a perfect week in which she wore the Maglia Rosa from the first to the final day.
Separated at the start of today's stage by one second, Kopecky and Longo Borghini battled it out, with the world champion, in the Maglia Rossa, trying to attack her rival on the Acquasanta climb, but always finding the Maglia Rosa on her wheel. At the last km Longo Borghini went on the counter-attack, distancing Kopecky and taking a victory that she had been pursued for years. The stage victory was again a clash among the breakaway riders, with Franziska Koch, Ruth Edwards and Kimberley Le Court coming together at the bottom to the final climb to L'Aquila. It was the Mauritius national champion who prevailed, clinching a historic success for the Indian Ocean island.
Magdeleine Vallieres (EF Education-Cannondale) finished 11th on the stage at 38s back finishing 38th overall at 1:04:56 back.
