In the Trofeo Alfredo Binda, Dominika Włodarczyk achieved a respectable 15th place while showcasing her exceptional teamwork for UAE Team ADQ. She played a crucial role in supporting her teammates, Elisa Longo Borghini and Karlijn Swinkels, who finished in the top 15. Włodarczyk actively participated in the race by attacking when necessary and strategically disrupting the rhythm to assist her teammates. Despite experiencing physical challenges during the race, her resolve and leadership contributed to the team’s overall strategy and effort, emphasizing the significance of collaboration in cycling competitions.
"We wanted to make race as hard as possible to drop some sprinters and keep Karlijn safe. Unfortunately, not everything went as we planned, but that's cycling."
"My coach told me before the race that I'm really strong, but to be honest I didn't believe him... During the race I didn't feel super good, but I was repeating to myself that I needed to fight until the end."
"It was hard to first create a gap for Elisa and then jump to her group, but when I saw Demi chasing, I thought 'we need one more rider from UAE in the first group'. That's why I joined this group - I wanted to help in the final and I knew I can be really useful."
