Another bunch sprint on stage 5 of the Giro Donne

Stage 5 of the Giro Donne finished in another bunch sprint into the centre of Reggio Emilia today. The stage was won by Elisa Balsamo (TFS) with Soraya Paladin sprinting to 18th place.

โ€œIt was a hectic finale. I was in quite a good position with 1km to go, and (Sarah) Roy was strong in the lead-out but then on the final corner I missed the good wheels, and those are the ones that sprinted for the top places,โ€ said Soraya.

โ€œTomorrowโ€™s stage is one that suits us better and weโ€™re looking forward to it.โ€
