FUGA PER LA VITTORIA CAPITOLO DUE, NUOVO TRIONFO DI LUCINDA BRAND
 

Dopo la tappa di Mantova, la campionessa d'Olanda si ripete sul traguardo di Loano al termine di una lunga fuga solitaria. Lucinda Brand lascia il gruppo dopo la salita di Naso di Gatto (1° categoria), affrontata in modo tranquillo dal gruppo e con la brasiliana Oliveira che transita per prima rafforzando il primato nella classifica dei GPM. 

L'atleta della Rabo-Liv si avvantaggia in discesa da Naso di Gatto arrivando fino a un vantaggio di circa 3 minuti sul plotone guidato da Megan Guarnier e nei pressi del Traguardo Volante di Mallare si porta all'inseguimento un piccolo gruppetto di circa 15 atlete. L'accelerazione delle big è sulla salita di Rialto, con MoolmanVan der Breggen e Longo Borghini protagoniste. 

Il gruppo principale rientra sulle inseguitrici ma ciò non da problemi a Lucinda Brand che vince tutta sola a Loano, guadagnando 2'41'' sul gruppetto di Megan Guarnier che vince ancora una volta lo sprint d'arrivo del drappello principale e domani c'è l'attesissima cronometro individuale da Pisano a Nebbiuno.

After Mantova, the Dutch National Champion repeats herself winning all alone in Loano the 7th stage of the 26th Giro Rosa. Lucinda Brand attacks in the descend from Naso di Gatto (I. Category), where Flavia Oliveira passes first on the top gaining more points in the Green Jersey Classification. 
The Rabo-Liv athlete gets an advantage of about three minutes from the Pink Jersey group and at the Intermediate Sprint in Mallare there was a chasing group composed of about 15 athletes. 

The acceleration of the leaders started on the climb to Rialto where Moolman, Van der Breggen and Longo Borghini have been the main interpreters. No trouble for Lucinda Brand who won with a fantastic solo in Loano, gaining 2'41''.

Longo Borghini And Abbott Looking Ahead To Giro Rosa’s Decisive Final Weekend

Wiggle Honda Dream Team Professional Cycling
 

Wiggle Honda Pro Cycling’s Elisa Longo Borghini and Mara Abbott remain close to the top of the General Classification of the 2015 Giro Rosa, as the race heads into its decisive final weekend. The two black and orange riders finished fifth and seventh respectively alongside the other big names of the race at the end of the seventh stage, between Arenzano and Loano, two minutes and 41 seconds behind lone winner Lucinda Brand (Rabo-Liv).

Longo Borghini now sits fourth overall, and best Italian rider, just 31 seconds behind race leader Megan Guarnier (Boels-Dolmans), while Abbott sits 30 seconds further back in sixth. Unfortunately, Wiggle Honda Pro Cycling's Stage Six winner Mayuko Hagiwara crashed on a descent, the Japanese Champion was able to continue, and finsihed the stage, but slipped down the General Classification.

“Today it was a really hard day,” Longo Borghini said, after pulling on her Blue Best Italian Jersey. “There was a first category climb, which I managed to pass with the Maglia rosa group, together with Mara. Then some other riders came back, including Mayuko who went into a breakaway, but unfortunately she crashed on the descent.

“I dropped from the five that were in the Maglia Rosa group, but Mara was still in there,” she continued. “I rode at my own pace up the last three kilometres of the last climb, and then I was able to come back on the descent.”

The last two remaining stages of the race will consist of 21.7km individual time trial between Pisano and Nebbiuno, to the west of Milan, on Saturday, followed by a 92.7km road stage between Verbania and the mountaintop finish at San Domenico di Varzo. As a native of Verbania, Longo Borghini will be racing on her home roads this weekend, but won’t be able to show her National Champion’s Time Trial Jersey that she wore in last week’s Ljubljana, Slovenia, Prologue.

“I won’t wear my tricolore because I’ve got the blue jersey,” Longo Borghini explained. “If things had gone differently I might have been higher in the GC at this moment, but for now I feel okay like this.

“Racing at home is nice, but when the road goes up there’s no extra motivation or anything like that,” she added. “You can’t hide, and if you’re not strong enough you drop.”

Abbott’s two Giro victories, in 2010 and 2013, were built upon her stage victories in the high passes of the Italian Alps. After climbing with the best in the race on all the uphill stages so far, however, the former two-time American Champion is also looking ahead to Saturday’s time trial.

“It was a tough day,” she said of Friday’s 89.7km stage in the hills above the Ligurian coast. “All the teams worked hard and the course was really tough. I’m really proud that we were able to finish strongly with Elisa and I in the front bunch.

“I had confidence that Elisa would make it back, but when I heard the official blowing his whistle in the car behind us it was a great noise!” she added.

“I got a chance to see the time trial before the race, and it’s a really nice course,” Abbott concluded. “I’m really looking forward to it!”
