After the early attacks of the day and the requisite regrouping mid race, it was Karlijn Swinkels (Jumbo Visma) who went off the front before the final gravel sections of this famous race through Tuscany. With 43 kilometers left to race, it wasn’t likely that her twenty second gap was going to be enough to carry the day. I suspect that this move was more to put some pressure on others on behalf of her black and yellow clad teammates.
