The Women's Regional Cup saw its first stage in Siena with the Strade Bianche Women. At the end of the Tuscan race, leading the standings with 8 points is Monica Trinca Colonel, a Valtellina athlete born on May 21, 1999, and in her first year in the World Tour with the Liv Jayco AlUla team.

Behind her, Silvia Persico (UAE Team ADQ) obtains 4 points, as does Letizia Borghesi (Education First - Oatly).

The combativeness ranking rewards Barbara Malcotti (Human Power Health, 30 points), ahead of Trinca Colonel (20 points) and Virginia Bortoli (Top Girls Fassa Bortolo).

Trinca Colonel's words, who until two years ago worked as an optician, after the award ceremony: "I'm happy to have obtained this first jersey in a race that is absolutely among my favorites, on the Sienese gravel roads. Moreover, I must say that it's nice to know that work is being done to enhance women's sports, and for this I thank both the Cycling League, with President Roberto Pella, and the Ministry of Equal Opportunities."

Trinca Colonel looks ahead: "There are 10 stages, I hope to be first at the end of the year."
