Nothing out of the ordinary in Giro Rosa. Marianne Vos won her second stage in a row and extended her lead in the overall classification. She made the race hard herself and in the end she soloed after from a small breakaway. Vos doesn�t leave anything to other riders as she proves to be able to win any stage in this year�s Giro Rosa. She says: �After two second places and two victories I can�t ask for me. Winning is never easy and there is still many uphill kilometers before we get to Cremona on Sunday�.
Tomorrow is the Queen Stage of this year�s Giro Rosa. The 73.3 km to Monte Beigua end with a steep climb towards the finishing line. In our Overall Preview of the race, Walter Zini picked Evelyn Stevens as the favorite for the stage and Stevens has high ambitions. �I like tomorrow�s stage profile a lot. My team is strong and we aim to win. Still, it�s never easy with Vos in the race�.
South African Ashleigh Moolman took third place on Stage 4. A result that really boosted her moral: �I love these uphill finishes and my podium spot today gives me confidence for the upcoming stages�, Moolman explains.
