Elisa Longo Borghini celebrates another top result.
The win was very emotional. It’s a comeback after becoming a mom; finding my feet again in cycling has been difficult. Obviously, there’s always been questions whether I made the right decision, but today was massive validation for that. My husband has been my rock, and I thought of him when I crossed the line.

Elisa Longo Borghini played a huge part in Lizzie's win.

Preparing for the final day.

A one-second lead would be hard to defend.

But the team was ready.

Stage 6 was up and down all day.

A well-deserved award.
