Giro d’Italia Women: Célia Gery wins stage 7 as Elisa Longo Borghini goes on the attack for time

Célia Gery (FDJ United-Suez) won stage 7 of the Giro d’Italia Women, outsprinting Lucinda Brand (Lidl-Trek) and Chantal Pegolo (Isolmant-Premac-Vittoria) in Salice Terme from a group of six after bridging to the early breakaway on the descent of the day’s only classified climb.

Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team ADQ) also jumped across to the break and drove the group in the final, trying to take as much time as possible for the general classification.
