While 35-year-old Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime) has won many of the biggest races in women’s cycling, the Trofeo Alfredo Binda is missing from her palmarès. She came closer than ever this year as she finished runner-up to Karlijn Swinkels in the sprint of a three-rider breakaway while her teammate Blanka Vas claimed the sprint of the chase group for fourth place.
"Given the situation, this was the best we could achieve," said Van der Breggen in a team press release.
