Annemiek Van Vleuten (Mitchelton-Scott) showed why she has the rainbow bands across her chest and arms. She was able to chase down the lone leader and the group that Margarita Garcia Canellas (ALE BTC Ljubljana) had left behind. Van Vleuten dropped the ALE rider with just about 2 kilometers left to the finish and Siena. Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, there were no crowds massed at the finish line in the old city square. So instead, Van Vleuten waved to the press core and the TV cameras as thought it was the crowded Italian Piazza. This makes it two Strade Bianches in a row for the on fire Dutch phenom.
