Neve Bradbury (Canyon//SRAM Racing) has won Stage 7 of the Giro d’Italia Women, the 120km long Lanciano-Blockhaus. Lotte Kopecky (Team SD Worx – Protime) and Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl – Trek) finished second and third respectively.
Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl – Trek) retains the Maglia Rosa.
Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner Neve Bradbury said: “I am knackered but happy! I went so deep, I don’t think I ever pushed so much in my career. When I attacked I was only thinking at the stage victory so I went full gas until the finish. Now I am on the podium of the GC and tomorrow I will try to move up again and try to fight for the Maglia Rosa”.
