Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) won stage 3 of the Giro d’Italia Women, outsprinting Josie Nelson (Picnic PostNL) in Trento after being led out by her teammate Lotte Kopecky.
The final was interrupted by a mass crash in a roundabout with 2.5km to go that happened near the front of the peloton, leaving only ten riders at the front.
Christina Schweinberger (Fenix-Deceuninck) made the most of the chaos and got a small gap on the streets of Trento. But Barbara Guarischi (SD Worx-Protime) reeled in the Austrian and then handed off to Kopecky for the lead-out that Wiebes had no trouble finishing off.
Due to the 3km rule, all riders involved in the crash received the same time as Wiebes, meaning that Anna Henderson (Lidl-Trek) keeps the pink jersey.
