Marianne Vos won the sixth stage in the Giro d'Italia Donne held on Wednesday, making it her 32nd stage victory in the tour. The Dutchwoman was the fastest to cross the finish ahead of Lotte Kopecky.
There were some attempts to create a breakaway, but it remained futile. Francesca Pisciali (Mendelspeck) did try to create some distance, and later Lucinda Brand (Trek-Segafredo) and Kristen Faulkner (BikeExchange-Jayco) also tried. But the peloton soon caught up to them.

Vos managed to outpace her opponents and secure the stage victory. Lotte Kopecky had to satisfy herself with silver while Silvia Persico won bronze. Annemiek van Vleuten remains in the lead in the general classification.

- Pogi takes care of his teammates in races and training. Tadej Pogačar is widely praised within the cycling peloton for his fair and egalitarian leadership, actively supporting his UAE teammates both on the road during races and behind the scenes at training camps. Rather than acting like an untouchable superstar, he has intense team loyalty by sharing daily chores, giving up personal glory to help domestiques, and publicly crediting their sacrifices. Unlike some Grand Tour contenders, like Vingegaard, who occasionally train away from their squads, Pogi consistently attends team training camps alongside his domestiques, making the exact same sacrifices to build friendship. I love how Pogačar shares his teammates-domestiques, either when they succeed or win in races or when they simply just do a good job for him. It has to be a great moral boost for them. And then they work even harder and go even deeper for Pogi. This is teamwork.PogiSloFans15-11-2026

- I was in Maribor last summer (while spending time in Graz with family) but of course it was the day of independence and everything was shut. Sigh. Lovely walk on the river. (And yes, I’m Austrian and live in the US.)RidesHills15-11-2026
