Starting in Soprazocco di Gavardo, the 110km stage saw Matilde Vitillo (BePink) and Riejanne Markus (Team Jumbo-Visma) take an early lead before being pulled back after the first lap.

“It is an incredible number, but it is not really something I was thinking of. You know, every day is a new day in the Giro, and every day you have to be ready to focus, to fight and to get there," Vos said.

"My team is also inspirational, getting me in the right position and focussed to win again. It’s number two this Giro, the total is incredible.”
