The Sanremo Women, third event of the Regions Italy Cup 2025, concluded with great excitement, featuring a generous Elisa Longo Borghini who was caught just hundreds of meters from the finish line, but remained the day's protagonist. The Piedmontese now leads both the green jersey and the most combative classifications. Elisa Balsamo remains at the top of the individual ranking, having suffered but conquered 24 crucial points yesterday.
Yesterday in Sanremo, the President of the Professional Cycling League, Roberto Pella, along with Maria Laura Guardamagna from the Women's Cycling Promotion Commission, presented the awards.
