Trofeo Alfredo Binda was a race of many attacks throughout it's hilly course but the race ended in a sprint. Here, a star-studded field battled for victory and it was Elisa Balsamo who won ahead of Lotte Kopecky and Puck Pieterse.
Pieterse and the likes of Niamh Fisher-Black, Marlen Reusser and Mareille Meijering launched dangerous attacks throughout the finale but there was always firepower in the chasing group which ended up leading into a small group sprint. There, Balsamo was the fastest out of the bunch after surviving well the day's climbs.

- As Contador did, lets see who wins on the road at least Del Torro doesn't have to deal with Armstrong and Bruyneel doing everything to stop him winningslappers6623-05-2025
- Visma have screwed up immeasurably, tactically on this, Vuelta 24 remember that debacle! Tel Toro is the strongest. During a notable Giro Mikel Landa was the strongest but who kept getting backed, Fabio Aru, he never won that Giro - a team SHOULD always ride for the strongest rider!
leedorney23-05-2025 - Very true, the strongest should and will win, in the moment - I know what I would do...leedorney23-05-2025
- Lets not forget it's a 3 week race and Del Toro doesn't have a track record of doing these long GTs. All it takes it one bad moment on a climb to blow up.frieders323-05-2025
- I like this young man, if he is feeling good he should go for it on the next mountain stage.awp23-05-2025
- Team politics are terrible, I suspect that the team management knows who the strongest is on UAE in this Giro, Juan Ayuso is a great young athlete but he wobbles all the time. I figure UAE will go with who feels better. If del Toro feels good the team will probably back him. To hear Isaac say he stopped riding to wait for Ayuso because it was the right thing to do, made me upset. I know we are only fans but we want to see the strongest win.awp23-05-2025
- Froome was, in my book, the greatest Grand Tour rider ever. Better than Armstrong, better than Induarain. It all ends in a second for these guys. I remember that whenever people complain about Pogacar, and I am grateful.
Barney23-05-2025 - Tom retired instead of signing another contract. Visma offered him a contract renewal, he decided to retire which shocked everyone because he is such a strong cyclist.awp23-05-2025

- The more statements that came out from his mouth, the more I'm impressed with how he carries himself.
