Van Vleuten victorious on stage 2 of the Giro d'Italia Donne

Movistar Team's Annemiek van Vleuten has taken victory on stage 2 of the Giro d'Italia Donne, moving into the overall lead of the race.

After the torrential rain brought a premature end to the opening time-trial, the 2023 Giro d'Italia Donne began in earnest.

Attacking on the final climb of the day, Annemiek van Vleuten rode clear and despite a brave effort by the chasers, there was simply no catching the legendary Dutchwoman in the final downhill to the line.
