Abu Dhabi – UAE, July 9, 2024
UAE Team ADQ’s Chiara Consonni won the second stage of Giro d’Italia Women, after a grueling 110 km race from Sirmione to Volta Mantovana. In her powerful sprint to the finish line, Consonni overtook world champion Lotte Kopecky of Team SD Worx –Protime. Chiara also wears the red jersey as leader in the Points Classification.
Following her victory Chiara Consonni said: “I am very happy with this victory. I knew it could be the right day for me, but there were many other strong riders here and it’s never easy to win. But today my teammates did a fantastic job for me. I got on Lotte Kopecky’s wheel in the finale, waited for her to launch the sprint and then took off and caught up. I knew I was OK; I had a good feeling and I’m happy that I managed to win again here at the Giro”.
