Elisa Longo Borghini expressed her disappointment and plans for reflection after a poor performance in the elite women's road race at the UCI Road World Championships in Kigali on Saturday.
But rather than give too much attention to her own mistakes, the Italian champion chose to congratulate the three riders: new world champion Magdeleine Vallieres (Canada), silver medallist Niamh Fisher-Black (New Zealand) and bronze medallist Mavi Garcia (Spain), who risked it all in a successful breakaway and came out on top.
