Anna van der Breggen finished sixth in this year's Giro d'Italia Women after a challenging race dominated by Marlen Reusser and Elisa Longo Borghini. Despite not being in contention for the overall win, she concluded the event positively by securing second place in the final stage. SD Worx-Protime faced difficulties with the loss of Lotte Kopecky, but managed to win two stages. Van der Breggen expressed hopes that this race would motivate her leading into the upcoming Tour de France Femmes, emphasizing her need for recovery before competing again.
This second place is a nice way to end the week. It was a super tough Giro. Of course, we had hoped for more in the general classification.
Hopefully this was the incentive I needed with a view to the Tour de France Femmes. Other than that, it was a good week with two stage wins and how we rode as a team.
