Home rider Paula Blasi (UAE Team ADQ) stamped her authority on stage 2 of the Volta a Catalunya Feminas, winning solo in La Molina after conquering the 21.2km Coll de la Creueta.
The Catalan rider, who won La Vuelta Femenina and Amstel Gold Race earlier this spring, bided her time on the final climb, but once she put in her decisive attack, no one could match her, and she soloed to the victory and into the race lead.
