Van Vleuten Opens Giro Rosa With Victory

Annemiek van Vleuten got the Giro Rosa off to the best possible start for Bigla Pro Cycling Team by winning the prologue. The victory is the second one this season for van Vleuten who again will wear the Maglia Rosa on the first stage after achieving the same feat in 2014.

Van Vleuten crossed the line in 2:48 and had to wait another 20 minutes until she was crowned the winner.

“It feels super cool because I also won the prologue in Bira and this again is a special feeling to get to wear the Maglia Rosa tomorrow. I’m so happy for the team,” she said.

“You can’t make any mistakes in a prologue like this. You might come here as a favourite but it’s not so easy because everything has to go perfect. I feel on good form and I was really focused. I practiced a lot. I think I did the turnaround corner fifteen times.”

Bigla has been a long time supporter of women’s cycling and has a rich history in the sport. Team administrator Emil Zimmerman has been with the team since its inception and van Vleuten says it was touching to see his emotional response after she won.

“This team has such a history in cycling and when I saw the emotion of Emil, I saw what it means for the team. This gave me a more special feeling.”

Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio placed well for the team with sixth place, three seconds behind van Vleuten.

“When we do time trial we always adapt to the course and we had a look today and saw it was very important to take the right lines,” team manager, Thomas Campana said. “It’s a good start for the team because we have two riders in the top ten and the jersey. It couldn’t be better. Now the hard work starts,” he concluded

Scandolara impressive for sixth in opening Giro Rosa prologue

Valentina Scandolara © Photo Anton Vos/Orica GreenEDGEItalian Valentina Scandolara has put in an impressive performance to finish sixth in the opening prologue of the Giro d'Italia Internazionale Femminile, the only women’s Grand Tour of the year, this evening.

Scandolara finished just three seconds down on winner Anna van Vleuten (Bigla Cycling), who stopped the clock on the short and sharp two-kilometre course in a time of two-minutes 48seconds.

Not usually known for her time trial results, Scandolara’s performance still didn’t surprise sport director Gene Bates who knew the 25-year-old would be motivated in her home race.

“It’s the Giro.” Bates explained about the performance that earned Scandolara the best Italian rider for the stage. “She finds a new level. I think all of the Italian’s find a new level this week.”

“Valentina loves this race and it’s one of the main reason why we are here – this is the biggest women’s Tour on the calendar and we have an Italian in the team so it’s natural for us to be here and to be motivated.

“The course also suited her to a tee. It was very technical with two U-turns in two-kilometres so being the small and punchy rider that she is, that really played into her hands.”

2015 Oceania time trial champion Katrin Garfoot finished 11th, six seconds down on the leader, to put her in a strong position in the general classification battle heading into the first road stage tomorrow.

“Both Kat and Lizzie (Williams) had great rides I thought,” Bates said. “They were right around the mark.”

“They were probably just not quite powerful enough over the distance for today but that’s OK, it’s a ten-day race and there is plenty to be done yet.

“In terms of going forward for Kat, she is probably just ahead of some of the girls that we are expecting to be in overall contention and I think she is just happy to get it out of the way now. There is always the risk of a crash or a silly little mistake where you can lose a lot of time, but now we can get on with the road racing.”
