| Longo Borghini wins Giro Rosa stage 8, van der Breggen moves into lead
Elisa Longo Borghini won the eighth stage of the Giro Rosa on Friday with Anna van der Breggen hitting the line just behind her to take the overall lead.
The 91.5-kilometer stage from Castelnuovo della Daunia to San Marco la Catola saw some action early as crosswinds forced a split in the peloton, but things were back together in the pack by the midway point of the day. The main breakaway of the day was caught at the start of the final climb, where a select group of climbing talents jumped clear to battle. Van der Breggen and Longo Borghini then surged away and the duo held on all the way to the line, where Longo Borghini nabbed the win with van der Breggen taking runner-up honors.
Mikayla Harvey was the only other rider to finish within a minute of the leaders, taking third at 31 seconds back. Van der Breggen’s ride propelled her into the overall lead as Kasia Niewiadoma, the provisional leader on the day after Annemiek van Vleuten pulled out of the race, finished in sixth, 1:19 down. Niewiadoma dropped to second overall after Friday’s stage with Longo Borghini moving into third.
| Ulissi wins stage 4 and retakes Luxembourg lead
Diego Ulissi retook the overall lead at the Tour de Luxembourg with a win on stage 4.
Ulissi, who won the opening stage but dropped to second overall behind Eduard-Michel Grosu after stage 3, proved fastest out of a three-rider group in the lumpy stage 4 finale. He bested Aimé De Gendt and Markus Hoelgaard in Differdange to take back the GC lead, with De Gendt now sitting second, 17 seconds back.
| Pinot will miss Worlds due to back pain
According to the AFP, Thibaut Pinot’s back issues will keep him out of the World Championships.
The 2018 Lombardia winner would have started the climber-friendly Worlds road race in Imola, Italy, as a potential contender, but national coach Thomas Voeckler told AFP that Pinot is experiencing “too much pain” in his back as he rides the last few stages of the Tour de France to participate in Worlds.
| Coming up at the Tour
Stage 20 is the lone time trial on the 2020 Tour route, and it should be an interesting one. The first third is mostly flat, then there is a gradual ascent to the Col de la Chevestraye followed by a short downhill to the foot of La Planche des Belles Filles. With its 8.5% gradient, it will be a tough way to end a TT.
