Ella Wyllie wins Itzulia U23 classification due to bonus seconds

On her return to racing at the Itzulia Women, Ella Wyllie (Liv-AlUla-Jayco) won the blue jersey for the best U23 rider. Starting the final stage with the same time as five other riders, Wyllie snatched two bonus seconds to move into the lead even though the group she was in was caught by a reduced peloton in the final.

“It’s a big confidence boost, particularly after a couple quiet months for me with injury. As always, it’s a huge team effort and I’m happy with today,” the 21-year-old told Cyclingnews.
