Chiara Consonni (Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto) won stage 2 of Vuelta a Extremadura Femenina in a bunch sprint, holding off Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) and Ally Wollaston (FDJ United-SUEZ).
Consonni launched her sprint after teammate Zoe Bäckstedt gave her the leadout in the final kilometre. Bäckstedt was able to hold her position and retained the leader’s jersey for a second day.
Sheyla Gutiérrez (Movistar) was the first rider across the climb, and continued on a solo breakaway with aspirations of a victory. She had pushed away from the peloton by just over three minutes with 60km to go.
