Kristen Faulkner managed to win the queen stage of the Giro d’Italia Donne. She attacked early on, stayed ahead of the peloton, and made it to the finish line with a lead of over a minute against second place holder Marta Cavalli.
Georgia Baker and Amanda Spratt had to drop out of the tour because of Covid-19, so she had no one left to lean on for support. "Last year in the Giro d'Italia Donne, I was always from behind, so this is very special. Yesterday two of our riders couldn't start because of the corona, So I wanted to give everything for them and the team. I wanted to make a nice show of it," said Faulkner.
The last stage of the tour will be held on Sunday, which will decide the winner, "In this Giro, I can't really predict anything. But we have some sprinters in the team, so I hope it will be a bunch of sprint and one of them can finish it" concluded Faulkner. She currently holds 10th position in GC, 18 minutes and 28 seconds behind 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.
