Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team ADQ) secured a second consecutive title at the Giro d'Italia Women on Sunday, marking contender Marlen Reusser (Movistar) through the finish of stage 8 in Imola. Reusser gained just four seconds with a third-place finish on the stage, and could not overtake Borghini.
The Italian Champion defended her GC victory from last year, finishing 18 seconds ahead of Reusser and 1:11 in front of third-placed Sarah Gigante (AG Insurance-Soudal).
