“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." More from @ElisaLongoB after #GiroDonne22 today 👇 racing.trekbikes.com/stories/trek-s…
Elisa Longo Borghini optimistic for next stage : "The Giro is not finished, so let’s see what we can get in the last stages"

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.

- I'm loving the level of competition and the compositions of teams in 2025. Sure Pogi had an historic 2024. Slate is clean in 2025. And lots of great athletes--MvdP, Vingo, Primoz, Remco, Marc Hircshi, Pidcock, Carlos Rodriquez--and strong teams want to win. I think Pogi will have another great season in 2025. But I think we will talk about others having great seasons too. Who? I don't know. I'll watch the classics and tours and will root for spirited competition.pidginbil24-12-2024
- Sorry but 50€ a day for an international hotel was already a joke 6 years ago. Combined with the fact a lot of them are international chains, this is just capitalism as the West has taught. I think the business term used now is « dynamic pricing « and it happens everywhere. Maybe some will now reflect on how 3rd world delegations are discriminated by prices when they have always had to travel to meetings, hence distorting results and silverware. We will also still have to see how things work out visa-wise, how many participants will be refused as in Glasgow and on what basis? As regards Pog, the coach had better put in place a strategy to avoid his boycotting for personal political reasons, that’s at least as big a problem as logistics.Mistermaumau24-12-2024

- No but they spent a fortune on a cookie to predict the unpredictable. So much for tech and data and experts. Always useful in the service of opaque agendas.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
- Pog doesn’t do xc, might never try and has admitted he’d have no chance against MVDP in this. Shame really because I’m sure quite a few fans would enjoy watching him try and it would complicate the discussion of who is more complete which almost completely ignores off-road talent. Anyway, merr Xmas to all, keep next season in mind as you let go at the table the next days ;-)Mistermaumau24-12-2024

- i don’t know about it being a “nightmare” for mathieu, but he did lose. flanders is a similar nightmare i suppose for almost anyone who gets dropped on the paterberg at the end. very hard to chase back.OCexile24-12-2024
- yeah, i’m not sure you can say that van der poel was so dominant in the spring “because van aert wasn’t there.” who knows how wout would have farted against mathieu in those races, because HE WASN’T THERE. wout has never beaten mvdp in any cobbled monument, but maybe he would have IF HE’D BEEN THERE. maybe, just like mads, et al, he’d have gotten smoked. we’ll never know, BECAUSE…OCexile24-12-2024
- You are dreaming. MvdP has won Flanders 3 times and come second twice, once against the Pog in a very close race. He has convincingly beaten the Pog directly in MSR twice as well.Velovibes24-12-2024
- USA Cycling is just such a good institution! ...And they wonder why I don't do their races anymore!acem8224-12-2024
