Elisa Longo Borghini finished in 3rd place in Stage 8 at the Giro d’Italia Donne. She finished behind stage winner Annemiek van Vleuten and second place holder Marta Cavalli.
“I am very happy with my result today; it is a beautiful third place,” said Elisa.“Of course, on the road, you can find someone stronger and you have to accept it, with serenity. But it is good to know that we leave no stone unturned, that we have a strategy and a running plan. Racing in this team is very nice and rewarding.”

She continued, “On the climbs, I knew I didn’t have the pace of Van Vleuten or Cavalli. I certainly don’t feel inferior, but right now, I still lack something to keep up with them when the road goes uphill. Today I chose to keep my pace, focusing on myself, doing my best, and never giving up. If there is something that sets me apart, it is stubbornness and conviction.”Elisa holds the fourth position in GC, seven minutes and 3 seconds behind the overall leader Annemiek van Vleuten.

maria2024202422-11-2024 - It happens all to often. 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.
