Elisa Longo Borghini (Trek Segafredo) succeeded in bridging across to the front group that included Chantal Van Den Broeck-Blaak (SD Worx). She wasn't satisfied with just joining the front group, she went off the front. It was only Chantal who could hold the wheel of the Italian Champion. The two built up about 10 seconds on the rest of the front group as they raced through the streets of Siena. With just 5 kilometers left to race it was looking like the race would come down to a sprint between these two. However a short steep climb still faced all of the women before one would race her arms in victory.
