Lorena WIEBES. 10 and praise. A masterpiece, one of many, in which her class, tactical conduct, and great clarity emerge. She doesn't waste a single watt, does exactly what she needs to do, especially when she finds someone who does the work for her (Lotte Kopecky, rating 8: sacrifices herself).

Marianne VOS. 10. At 37, she's still battling like a young girl, among young girls.

Noemi RUEGG. 10. The 23-year-old Swiss champion finds herself in the right place at the right time and makes a leap onto the podium.

Demi VOLLERING. 7. Not a race that completely suits her, since she can make a difference only uphill, on climbs quite different from Cipressa and Poggio, which for her are simply Cipressa and Poggio.

Kimberley PIENAAR. 7. The 28-year-old athlete from Mauritius finds the sea and almost the podium.

Chloé DYGERT. 7. She's a fantastic passer, but in a sprint finish, she's a bit too slow.

Elisa BALSAMO. 6. She's good at getting there, competing, but in the final sprint, she pays the price of an demanding race.

Elisa LONGO BORGHINI. 8. Does what she had to do: try with a true finisseur's action. The move doesn't work out, but her shot is heard: and it was beautiful to dream. Until a few meters from the finish line.

Pauline FERRANAD-PRÉVOT. 6. Ignites the race, tries to break the bank, but finds no allies, only followers.

Marta CAVALLI. 7. Only twelve athletes remain, the cream of the crop: for her, for us, it's a sweet day.

Katarzyna NIEWIADOMA. 5. The 30-year-old Polish athlete is among the greats who lose contact with the greats.
