Giro d'Italia Women - Stage 5

With a relatively flat course, Stage 5 of the Giro was likely the last day for the sprinters, so the sprint teams (lead by SD Worx-Protime) kept the breakaways in check, letting only single riders go up the road and keeping them on a short leash.

Yesterday's winner Clara Emond (EF-Oatly-Cannondale) took some mountains points to further secure her lead in the mountain classification. The last solo breakaway rider was Marta Jaskulska (Ceratizit-WNT), who was caught with 8km to go, setting things up for the expected bunch finish.

In the sprint, Lotte Kopecky had a flawless lead-out from her teammates Elena Cecchini and Barbara Guarischi, and won in commanding fashion. Chiara Consonni (UAE Team ADQ) and Arlenis Sierra (Movistar Team) came in second and third, respectively. (We rather like photos of stage victories when teammates celebrate behind, as Guarischi did when Kopecky crossed the line!)

With the bonus seconds from the stage win, Kopecky moves within three seconds of Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek) on GC, with Cecilie Uttrup-Ludwig (FDJ-Suez) still in third, having finished in the bunch along with with ELB.

Tomorrow the road pitches upward, and it will be interesting to see how Kopecky climbs, what kind of form Uttrup-Ludwig is in, and how ELB will defend her pink jersey.

2024 Giro d'Italia Women - Stage 4

With a mostly flat course and a hill-top finish in Urbino, we knew Stage 4 was likely to be an active breakaway stage. What we didn't expect was an announcement of a new talent, as Clara Edmond (EF-Oatly-Cannondale) announced herself on the World Tour Stage.

Emond didn't join the initial breakaway, but jumped to join them along with previous breakaway player Ana Vitória Magalhães (BePink-Bongioanni).

Emond soon left them behind and stayed away for hours to a fantastic solo victory. We're happy for her and her team, which shifted its strategy from GC contention to stage wins after Kim Cadzow's disappointing day yesterday. This team has been a lot of fun to watch this season!

But Emond's breakaway was only half the story, because there was some great GC action behind. With 40km to go, a group of 15 strong climbers formed a chase group, and put enough time in the peloton that they had to chase as well. Brodie Chapman (Lidl-Trek) eventually had to drop back to help Elisa Longo Borghini chase and maintain her position on GC. Cecilie Uttrup-Ludwig (FDJ-Suez) animated a lot of the chasers, and still had enough in the tank to make a good showing on the final climb, finishing third on the stage and moving into third on the general classification.

Apart from Emond's brilliant solo win, the most iconic image from the stage may be Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime) and ELB dueling on the cobbled climb to Urbino, where Kopecky struck and ELB wouldn't let her get away, sprinting past her to beat her at the line. ELB really wants this one!

Look at the jarring vibrations from the road surface, this was a nasty climb! Although the view was gorgeous, these hilltop town finishes don't disappoint.
