The race finished on a category two climb in Gerola Alta with Moolman-Pasio crossing the line as part of a reduced peloton after Amanda Spratt won the stage solo. Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig rounded out a good stage for the team with tenth place.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt good and the team did an amazing job through the whole stage,\u201d Moolman-Pasio said. \u201cWhen we hit the bottom of the climb it was up to Cille and I. The attacks started and once Amanda went away, it was about limiting the losses. Today\u2019s climb was a tactical one. It was never particularly steep and there were parts where it flattened out. I felt good and in control. When it\u2019s a numbers game it\u2019s hard to control everything but we\u2019re feeling good and confident in the team,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Today\u2019s results move Moolman-Pasio up to fifth in the overall standings, 58 seconds off the Maglia Rosa while Uttrup Ludwig is sixth, one minute and six seconds adrift.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow\u2019s stage is an individual time trial over 15 kilometres up the category 1 Alpe Gera Di Campo Moro. The stage will see riders climb around 1000 metres over the short distance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
