Movistar's Liane Lippert took the stage win on a hilly stage 6 of the Giro d’Italia Women, outsprinting Pauliena Rooijakkers (Fenix-Deceuninck) after the pair split away from the breakaway inside of 10km to go. The pair built an advantage of more than one minute to the peloton with 2km to go to the finish in Terre Roveresche.

Lippert jumped first in the final metres to claim the victory, her first since winning stage 6 in last year’s Giro, while Rooijakkers could not match the explosiveness of the acceleration.
