For Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team ADQ), the month of April has been a series of ups and downs. With a solo win at Dwars door Vlaanderen, she ‘took revenge’ for being caught within sight of the finish in Milan-San Remo, then she crashed out of the Tour of Flanders and had to skip Paris-Roubaix Femmes because of a concussion.
Returning at the Brabantse Pijl, Longo Borghini took another solo victory before being out of the fight for the win at the Amstel Gold Race, where a strong break went all the way. At the Flèche Wallonne Femmes, the Italian Champion finished third for the second time in a row.
