Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio bettered her third place from the previous day to place second on a special Giro Rosa stage. The race was contested over a 15 kilometre mountain time trial.<\/p>\n

The stage went up the category 1 Alpe Gera Di Campo Moro with around 1000 metres of climbing.<\/p>\n

Moolman-Pasio set an incredible time of 48 minutes and 35 seconds, the second fastest of the day. It moved her up to third in the overall standings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a good effort,\u201d Moolman-Pasio said. \u201cI executed as we had planned, to do a good time but not absolutely kill myself. I\u2019m happy with the effort, now we just have to stay out of trouble tomorrow and wait for the Zoncolan and the final stage. Everything is running smoothly and the vibe in the team is good, so we keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moolman-Pasio explained the climb as, \u201cA mixture of sections from 6-7% and steeper sections in the middle. The last 2-3 kilometres flattened out and the finishing was quite fast. We continue to stick to the plan from here on out.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of the team\u2019s young rider development program, 22-year-old Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig represented the team well, finishing 8th.<\/p>\n

\u201cI set high expectations for myself, so I expected a little more today, but I also have to be realistic when I look at my age and those who finished ahead of me,\u201d Uttrup Ludwig said. \u201cEveryone is excited to see what to expect from the Zoncolan and it will be an exciting race for the fans. Tomorrow we\u2019ll maybe see a bunch sprint again then it\u2019s up to some steep climbing on the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
