Milano – Sanremo Donne
Taking on the second edition of the race after it returned to the calendar last year, Team Picnic PostNL Women’s program rolled out from the start line with the main plan for the day: to keep Pfeiffer Georgi safe and bring her into position for the main climbs. Doing just that, the team rode well as a group in the early stages, before Georgi came to the fore on the Cipressa. The race was a bit stop-start with attacks on that ascent, but Georgi made it over the top in the peloton of around 20 riders before things regrouped further. On the Poggio, a group of five escaped in the last kilometre and they would ultimately go on to fight for the win, while in the group behind Georgi produced a good turn of speed to take 11th place on the day.
