This year, Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek) is racing her 13th Giro d’Italia Women since her first participation in 2011. In that time, she only wore the maglia rosa once, after crossing the line first with her team when they won the TTT that opened the 2020 edition.
Four years on, in Brescia, the Italian Champion once again donned the maglia rosa, and the joy on her face was clear to see in the TV interview after she received the pink leader’s jersey.
