UAE Team ADQ fills top four as Longo Borghini wins Trofeo Oro

Racing continued in Italy the day after Strade Bianche for the women's peloton at the 1.1-ranked Trofeo Oro. Elisa Longo Borghini emerged victorious for the second time, making her the first to win more than one edition in the event's five-year history.

What makes the result all the more brilliant is that Longo Borghini stood at the head of a team 1-2-3-4 after UAE Team ADQ had controlled from the start. Defending champion Karlijn Swinkels eventually finished runner-up 55 seconds down, Strade Bianche standout Dominika Włodarczyk was third on the same time, and Silvia Persico a close fourth, with the remaining two teammates rounding out the top 10, making it a remarkable team outing.

Puck Pieterse was the only non-UAE rider to make the lead group when Longo Borghini and co. had lit up the race, and the young Dutch rider finished the day in fifth.
