Magalhães hangs for 100km in Giro d’Italia Women breakaway - 'Someday, I will win'


Only in her second year of racing in Europe, Ana Vitória ‘Tota’ Magalhães (BePink-Bongioanni) is making a name for herself as a breakaway artist. The Brazilian rider attacked on the final stage of the Vuelta a Burgos Féminas in May, and now she went on a breakaway of more than 100km on stage 2 of the Giro d’Italia Women, riding solo for 30km and only being caught with 1.8km to go.

“I’m probably going to think about the last two kilometres tonight when I go to sleep, but I’m proud of how I raced. It’s my style of racing to attack, and someday, I will win. I’m just going to keep believing and keep showing up, and someday, the breakaway will win,” Magalhães told Cyclingnews after the race.
