Juliette Labous "will try to go for another win on the next days" after her first stage victory in Giro d’Italia Donne

Juliette Labous has secured her first stage victory in the Giro d’Italia Donne . She managed to leave the peloton behind in the final climb and take the win.
She launched the attack three kilometers before the finish line and created a two-and-a-half-minute lead over the peloton. Van Vleuten, Garcia, and Cavalli attempted to attack Labous, but the distance was too large, and their efforts were futile. Juliette Labous won the stage, Annemiek van Vleuten took silver, and Garcia had to settle for bronze.
“It was really hard on the final climb and I was a bit scared as the gap was going down fast so we had to go full from the bottom,” said Labous.” I saw that I was probably the strongest and decided to take my own pace and go as hard as I could. I will try to go for another win on the next days but maybe tomorrow I will be a bit tired. For now, though, I’m just so happy with the win today.”

- It looks like someone is having a hard time understanding the concept of cause and effect. Perhaps Eli can enlighten us as to what the lowest and worst thing is that can happen IN a race, by a competitor.
santiagobenites08-11-2024 - What!! 5 million for a martinez and a Remco and Vingegaard as well. Something is seriously wrong. Should be 5 mil in 3 years probably.abstractengineer08-11-2024
- Remco could definitely lose a couple kilograms. That would help him a lot if he can keep his sustained power which is likely at his age. Above all else though, he needs support. He would have definitely been second if he had Jonas' supportVeganpotter08-11-2024
- van der poel is, what, 29? probably gonna be looking pretty good for this list by the time he walks away in 5 or 6 years.OCexile08-11-2024
- Jonas will be strong next year, he came into the Tour so lightweight after his injuries in that crash. I feel like he'll be focused and ready to go. That said Tadej is going to be tough to beat but it can happen. Should be a great Tour.awp08-11-2024
- It's going to be a great fight! I hope JV gets there in shape, Pogi aswell! And, I hope the Giro wont be a goal, but the Vuelta instead. Let Wout do his Giro (or Jorgensen as GC he can still do the Tour after or the Vuelta) Then, JV and Pogi, will have a match in both the Tour and the Vuelta! (Given Pogi goes for the Tour-Vuelta this time)Stitz08-11-2024
