Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek) won the Trofeo Oro in Euro on Sunday, just one day after her runner-up performance at Strade Bianche Women. Karlijn Swinkels (UAE Team ADQ) surged for second place from the chase group of six riders, 32 seconds back, leaving several bike lengths between her and third-placed Ruth Edwards (Human Powered Health).
The Italian champion jumped out of the saddle and attacked from a reduced front group on the second and final Fortezza climb (3.5km at 5.5%) with 13.5km to go and held on for the solo victory. It was her first victory of the season, and a return to the top step at Trofeo Oro since she won in 2012.
