Charlotte Kool has delivered a steady performance in the Giro d'Italia Donne. But she has yet to win a stage. Kool again narrowly missed a stage victory in the Giro d'Italia Donne. She finished second behind stage winner Elisa Balsamo.
"Today the team did a great job. We had a clear plan and I think that helped all the girls to go for it. They all had a lot of confidence in me. In the final we had a clear plan for the last corner, and Franzi and Megan rode perfectly towards this corner," said Kool.
She made a mistake in the fifth stage's last corner, which allowed Elisa Balsamo to sprint ahead of her. "I made a big mistake by cutting the last corner too wide; that's where I lost it. I still rode a strong sprint, but I knew you had to go into the corner first, and I messed that up. We can be proud of the team performance today, " Kool said. She currently holds the 106th position in GC, 29 minutes and 1 second behind overall leader Annemiek van Vleuten.

My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib.
