The Women's Tour Down Under and its Willunga Hill finish couldn't have delivered a more emotional victory, with the triumphant return of Sarah Gigante (AG Insurance-Soudal) from the racing and results wilderness.
She'd won before on Willunga, at the domestic Santos Festival of Cycling, but this was a Women's WorldTour win and a reward for her unrelenting persistence through a period where nothing seemed to go her way.
