The third World Tour race for women, Trofeo Binda, took place today in Cittiglio, Italy. The BTC City Ljubljana Zhiraf team once again had the opportunity to compete on the world stage of cycling, on a classic, hilly 144 km route. The final laps were decisive, thinning out the main group of cyclists with each lap. The main selection was made in the last lap, where Urša Pintar lost contact with the leading group of 25 cyclists and finished in 31st place. The strongest was Balsamo Elisa from the Lidl-Trek team, ahead of world champion Kopecky Lotte and third-placed Pieterse Puck. The other girls from the BTC City Ljubljana Zhiraf team did not finish the race.
Among the Slovenian participants were Urška Žigart, who finished the race in 40th place, and Špela Kern, who crossed the finish line in 53rd place.
