Lotte Kopecky takes imperious bunch sprint win on stage five of the Giro d'Italia Women

Lotte Kopecky wins stage five of the Giro d'Italia Women.

Lotte Kopecky praised "one of the best lead outs I've ever had" after winning the bunch sprint into Foligno on stage five of the Giro d'Italia Women. She put acres of space between her back wheel and the rest of the bunch at the end of the 108km stage, which began in Frontone.

The SD Worx-Protime rider, who is second on GC, also took 10 bonus seconds, to move to within three seconds of race leader Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek).
