Giro d'Italia Donne Stage 5: Antonia Niedermaier wins

Antonia Niedermaier (Canyon/SRAM racing) soloed to the win at the Giro d’Italia on Tuesday, putting nine seconds into world champion Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar Team). Niamh Fisher-Black (Team SD Worx) finished third. Van Vleuten continues to wear the pink jersey with four stages remaining.

Stage 5 was a very tough, lumpy 103.3 km race from Salassa to Ceres with some big gaps, with riders finishing in ones and twos. Maggie Coles-Lyster (Israel-Premier Tech Roland) didn’t start the stage, which meant that Magdeleine Vallieres Mill (EF Education-TIBCO-SVB) was the sole Canadian. She finished 57th on the day, 20:20 behind. She sits 67th overall, and has been working hard for her team leader, Veronica Ewers who sits third overall.
