Elisa Longo Borghini (Trek-Segafredo) did her best to anticipate an attack by Demi Vollaring (Team SD Works) in the Liège-Bastogne-Liège Féme. In the end, Longo Borghini lost out to Vollaring in the sprint competition, but he was not disappointed with his second place finish. To be honest, I'm very happy," he said. In Amstel, Shirin van Unrooy and Gaia Leirini were third in Flèche, and in Liège I was second. Longo Borghini said after the race. I want to thank my Trek-Segafredo teammates. I want to thank my Trek-Segafredo teammates. Amanda Spratt was in the breakaway early on and she kept going. Once I caught Amanda, I bombed down the descent with her and Shirin," she explained.

I'm still going up and down and I don't know what's going to happen when I wake up. Longo Borghini said, "Today is a good day.
