Marianne Vos (Team Jumbo-Visma) added another Giro d’Italia Donne stage win to her impressive collection by winning the sprint from a group of 11 on stage 6.
Beating Lotte Kopecky (Team SD Worx) and Silvia Persico (Valcar-Travel & Service) to the line, Vos took the 32nd Giro Donne stage win of her career.
The last attacker was caught on the climb to Bergamo Alta, and Elisa Longo Borghini (Trek-Segafredo) put in an attack on the steepest part that only Vos could follow.
Mavi García (UAE Team ADQ) joined the two over the top and kept the move going into the descent as maglia rosa Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar Team) had been impeded by a crash and lost contact with the best.
On the descent to the finish, Van Vleuten picked up riders and led a group of eight in a furious chase, catching the front trio just before the flamme rouge. In the final kilometre, Vos shut down a move by Kristen Faulkner (Team BikeExchange-Jayco), then launched her own sprint to avoid becoming boxed in – and won.
