‘I’m in pain, my legs are sore but I can’t have any regrets’ – Elisa Longo Borghini gives strong performance but settles for fourth at Strade Bianche

Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team ADQ) was first to the top of the Santa Caterina climb in central Siena, less than a kilometre from the finish of Strade Bianche Women but she eventually finished fourth, proud of her performance but hugely disappointed by the result.

Elise Chabbey (FDJ United-SUEZ) won the battle to dive first into the final corner and then surged to victory in the Piazza il Campo.
