Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar) achieved his third stage win at the Giro Donne 2023 this Wednesday, July 5, with which reinforces its advantage at the head of the general classification of the career.

The dominance of the Dutch seems incontestable in this test, which ends on Sunday, and more so because some of her rivals have been left out of the race. the italian Elisa Longo, who suffered a severe fall on Tuesday, did not start; and the german Antonia Niedermaier, winner the day before, fell on the course this Wednesday and abandoned the race.

The sixth stage had a start and finish in the town of Canelli, with 104 kilometers and two ports in the last kilometers, the last one at the finish line. But the Dutch did not wait for the last climb to attack and He did it in the penultimate round, where he showed his strength and was left alone, to win with a time of 2 hours, 39 minutes and 4 seconds. He took twenty seconds of difference over his compatriot Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx) and the German Lianee Lippert (Movistar). The Basque cyclist Ane Santestebann (Jayco AlUla) finished in eighth position the sixth stage finished, 28 seconds behind the winner.
