Liane Lippert takes stage 6 win at Giro d'Italia Women 2025 as Pauliena Rooijakkers raids back into podium contention
Cycling
Liane Lippert has won stage 6 of the 2025 Giro d'Italia Women for Movistar Team, out sprinting Pauliena Rooijakkers in a two-woman fight for the line in Terre Roveresche.
Although she missed out on the stage, Rooijakkers will still undoubtedly be happy with her day's efforts however, catapulting right back into general classification thanks to her raid. In the GC meanwhile, Lippert's teammate Marlen Reusser retains the overall race lead, holding 16 seconds over the defending champion Elisa Longo Borghini.
With a huge finish coming tomorrow atop Monte Nerone however, things could all change around yet again in the fight for the Maglia Rosa.

- Just looked again at the photo. Yeah I stand by that. If MS had fallen over in Brands direction I don’t even think she would have hit her. You must be a UCI race commissioner.

- I said looking at the photo it doesn’t appear she deviated. Chill out, not stating my word is the final judgement. Just commenting that based on the photo I don’t see it. And BTW the Dutch coach even said she didn’t impede her.mij08-11-2026
