Giro d’Italia Donne: Which GC riders lost too much time to Anna van der Breggen on Prato Nevoso
The l🐼osses and surprises as massive time gaps open 🃏on first summit finish

SD Worx proved their dominance in the overall classification at the 2021 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d'Italia Donne after the first summit finish on stage 2 to Prato Nevoso.
The dominant Dutch squad claimed 1-2-3 as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Anna van der Breggen soloed to victory ahead of her teammates 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ashleigh Moolman Pasio and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Demi Vollering.
Van der Breggen, who is the defending champion and looking for her fourth ov🐻erall victory, now leads the overall classification over her teammates, 1:26 on Moolman Pa✤sio and 1:57 on Vollering - with the next in line now sitting some three and four minutes behind.
Stage 2's 100km race began in Boves and looped across the region's lumpy terrain before tackling the first of two proper mountaintop finishes at Prato Nevoso, a 15-kilome🌳tre climb that caused massive se💖parations among the GC contenders.
With only two stages down and eight more to go, Cyclingnews looks at the ✱GC riders who lost time to Anna van der Breggen, and who surprised on the climb to Prato Nevoso.
The biggest loss of the day came for Trek-Segafredo. After a stellar start to the 10-day race with a victory in the team time trial that put Ruth Winder in the first maglia rosa, the team all but im🎃ploded on the climb to Prato Nevoso with Lizzie Deignan finishing as their top rider at the summit and now their top placed rider on GC in fourth at 3:31 down.
Winder was not expected to keep her overall position as she was a support rider for Italian Champion and third-placed overall last year 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Elisa Longo Borghini, who fini🤪shed a disappointing 32nd place and now sits ⛎in 22nd overall at 8:32 off the maglia rosa.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Amanda Spratt (Team BikeExchange) didn't have her superb climbing legs of years past on Prato Nevoso, and although she finished in the second chase group on the climb and in✃ 8th place on the day, she is now in 9th overall at 4:38 back. There are still eight days to try and claw back some of that time for a p𒁏otential podium spot.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig (FDJ Nouvelle-Aquitaine Futuroscope) had an unlucky crash during the opening te꧒am time trial on Friday and started stage 2 already 1:46 down in the overall classification. The Danish all-rounder finished 19th on the day and is now 7:41 down.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mikayla Harvey (Canyon-SRAM) was last year's best young rider and the team's highest hope to improve on her fifth place overall last year, especially as Kasia Niewiadoma (runner-up last𒁏 year) opted to skip the Giro to focus on the Olympics. The New Zealander finished 36th on the stage and is now 29th overall at 9:47 down.
There were a number of surprises emerging on the climb to Prato Nevoso,ꦰ however, and all rode strong performances ꩵthat have launched them further up the overall classification.
Italian 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marta Cavalli (FDJ Nouvelle-Aqu﷽itaine Futuroscope) is now a GC hope for her home race after turning heads w💞ith her fourth-place atop Prato Nevoso. She lost time in the team time trial due to a puncture the previous day, but she has shown herself to be a contender in the mountains for the remaining of the race, now placed 13th at 5:53 back.
"Cecilie crashed and I punctured in the team time trial, so today we were motivated to take a good position and so I fought until the end," Cavalli said. "I was so close to🐬 third but Demi Vollering was faster than me in the sprint. Fourth is a good account but we have eight ha﷽rd days to go. We are here to fight for a stage win. We know that the GC position will arrive with good stages [performances] so we continue to fight."
Gaia Realini (Isolmant-Premac-Victoria) is thꦫe most surprising rider in the top-10 on Prato Nevoso, finishing sixth place on the day and moving up to 11th at 5:27 back.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mavi Garcia (Ale BTC Ljubljana) was part of the select chase group on the climb finishing in the top-10 and moving up to 5th overall at 3:42. Likewise, Erica Magnaldi (Ceratizit-WNT Pro Cycling Team) had a strong performance on the climb that now sees her in 6th at 3:50 down. Former runner-up in 2013 and third place in 2010 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tatiana Guderzo (also Ale BTC Ljubljana) finished iꦬnside in the top-10 and is now positiౠoned 7th overall at 4:08.
Anna van der Breggen has an almost unassailable lead after just two days of racing, and SD Worx have a stronghold on the GC top 3, but there is still eight days of racing that includes an uphill time trial on stage 4, and another mountaintop finish on stage 9 at Monte Matajur, the penultimate 🧸stage, before concluding in Cormons on July 11.
