Elisa Longo Borghini has put up a solid effort in the Giro d'Italia Donne, although she has yet to reach the podium. In the sixth stage of the tour, she could not beat Dutch rider Marianne Vos, in the sprint and crossed the finish line in 9th position.
“I was really looking forward to this stage. The final climb in Bergamo is a magical climb and the final climb of Lombardia, a race that I would love to see soon in the women’s schedule. I hope one day to do this race and climb this finale again. And maybe next time dropping the other riders and not having Vos with me,” said Borghini.
“I like to race aggressive and give a show for the fans. That’s my way to race,” said Longo Borghini, “ I did my best and we have to accept the results and look forward. Of course, I am disappointed because I really wanted to win the stage today. The Giro is not finished, so let’s see what we can get in the last stages. I am happy, my Giro has been good so far with only one bad day in the heat.”
She won the Women’s Tour a few weeks ago and Paris-Roubaix Femmes in April. Even though she has not won any stage, she holds the fourth position in GC, 5 minutes behind overall leader Annemiek van Vleuten.

- Times have changed, Bart Wellens, and it's only natural and makes total sense that riders like Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel's primary focus is on their road careers. It has absolutely nothing to do with doing a 'disservice' to the UCI.
santiagobenites14-11-2024 - Bad for us, good for them, indifferent for newcomers. When a bank offers you 50 to open an account is that good or bad? Good for you, bad for existing clients paying for it who received nothing when they joined, indifferent for future new clients who might get 100.Mistermaumau14-11-2024
- Why don’t you go copy-paste from a reliable scientific site instead of accepting the first info Google provides which is by no means scientific. Like I said before differently, EVERYTHING is poisonous if you replace the Oxygen you need with it. Breathing pure Oxygen will kill most of us in almost every situation (hospital deliver pure oxygen but dilute with air before inhalation so just enrich) fighter pilots and astronauts get pure oxygen because there is almost none in the atmosphere but as the pressure is far lower the concentration in the lungs remains similar to the N78/O21 known as air). nitrogen/oxygen instead of 80/20 (basically air) will likely kill you too. Nitrogen is completely neutral and unabsorbed yet you die from 100% so is it poisonous, no. It’s the wrong DOSE that is poisoning!Mistermaumau14-11-2024
- Well not really news after watching netflix doc . You did not need to be a rocket scientist to notice the body language and Pidcock giving the finger on the Alpe Huez stage .

- Carbon Monoxide kills you by asphyxiation. It cuts off the oxygen supply to the brain by bonding with hemoglobin better than oxygen. But it's no poisonous since you breathe it everyday. You get too much water in your lungs and you ALSO die of asphyxiation. But tell me, other than bonding with hemoglobin what is deadly about carbon monoxide?Sweep13-11-2024
- No, it's not poisonous. You breath it in every single day of your life. If you live in a dense city you breath in 10X what a rural person breathes. It kills you by asphyxiation. You breathe in water and it also kills you by asphyxiation. Poisoning is a misnomer. You drink too much water and that kills you also. Is water poisonous?Sweep13-11-2024
- Different eras, different equipment, wildly different training with nearly robot-like nutrition requirements, and so on. The thing you can compare is the relative success of riders against their rivals. Maybe it’s fine to just say they stand above the rest of their generation, and be happy with that.RidesHills13-11-2024
