Ten kilometers later, Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek) was still not caught by the chasers, the only difference was now there was no longer anyone ahead of her to catch. She had built a twenty second lead on the group of chasers, but they were slowly reeling her back in cutting her lead almost in half with another nineteen kilometers left to race. Unfortunately for the reigning Italian Champion, there were two short steep climbs between her and a possible solo victory.
