The Giro d'Italia Donne has faced it's first true summit finish today and Marlen Reusser put in a strong performance to finish in the wheel of Elisa Longo Borghini to defend her pink jersey. However, Sarah Gigante won stage 4 and has jumped onto the podium.
The summit finish to Valdobbiadene provided 11 kilometers of difficult climbing, many of them paced by Anna van der Breggen who was perhaps too exposed to the wind. When the big attacks began the Dutchwoman didn't have the legs to respond and didn't make it into the decisive selection.
The winning move from Gigante came with 1.7 kilometers to go, an impressive attack which saw her gain 25 seconds on Elisa Longo Borghini and Marlen Reusser who finished second and third. The Swiss rider managed to retain the pink jersey.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
