Following her third place at the Tour de France Femmes, Elisa Longo Borghini has said that she'll be back to win it all next year, claiming, "I don't think the gap is that wide" to the two riders who finished ahead of her, Demi Vollering and Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney.
The Italian improved as the Tour went on, going from seventh place in Poligny to fourth before the final weekend, and then third overall after Marlen Reusser was dropped and crashed on the final stage in Nice.
