Trek-Segafredo won Trofeo Alfredo Binda - Comune di Cittiglio for the third time in a row on Sunday as a solo effort by Shirin van Anrooij continued the run of victories started by Elisa Longo Borghini and Elisa Balsamo.

Given the record at the race, it was hardly unexpected that the team took victory but there was no one that seemed more surprised than Van Anrooij that it was her 25-kilometre solo that delivered the win. It was the Dutch riders first elite individual UCI road victory of her career and Balsamo completed the day for Trek-Segafredo by taking second place in the sprint of a reduced group.
