Annemiek van Vleuten takes a firmer lead in the Giro Donne despite the fall: ‘Tough, but perfect day’

Annemiek van Vleuten has further extended her lead in the general classification in the Giro Donne. The 40-year-old rosette wearer herself crashed from second position in the difficult descent towards the finish, but her main competitor Elisa Longo Borghini also crashed behind her at about the same time. The Italian lost a lot of time, while Van Vleuten was able to get up again quickly.
