Demi Vollering (FDJ United-Suez) won stage 8 of the Giro d’Italia Women, outsprinting Isabella Holmgren (Lidl-Trek) and Antonia Niedermaier (Canyon-SRAM) on a shortened stage that ended about a kilometre from the top of the Colle delle Finestre.
The stage had to be shortened due to an avalanche and the risk of more ice falling onto the road in the descent from the climb. Race leader Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime) finished fourth, a few seconds behind Vollering to defend the maglia rosa.
