Tiffany Cromwell took her biggest win to date, soloing to victory on the fifth stage of the Giro Donne. Crossing the finish line in Molinella 8:33 ahead of the bunch, Cromwell has shot up to fifth place on the overall classification.
"I honestly thought it was a day for the sprinters," said Tiffany Cromwell. "But I saw an opportunity and took it."
On paper, the pancake flat profile favored the fast finishers. Without a pure sprinter among their team of eight, ORICA-AIS did not want to leave the stage result to the finish.
