‘Aggressive and opportunistic’ – Elisa Longo Borghini ready to start turning the corner on nightmare run at Tour de France Femmes

The last two editions of the Giro d’Italia Women have been a dream come true for Elisa Longo Borghini, but the rider who has now claimed the maglia rosa for two years running can’t say the same of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.

“The Tour de France has been a little bit my nightmare race these days,” Longo Borghini told Cyclingnews last month. “In 2023, I didn’t finish it because of an infection. In 2024, I eliminated myself before, because I crashed and I wasn’t able to walk for five days.”
