Kim Le Court (AG Insurance - Soudal Team) wins the Giro dell'Emilia, succeeding Elisa Longo Borghini in the race's honor roll. The national champion from Mauritius, eighth at the recent World Championships in Kigali, preceded Niamh Fisher-Black (Lidl Trek), silver medalist at the World Championships in Rwanda. Third place went to Yara Kastelijn (Fenix-Deceuninck).

The 29-year-old athlete from the Indian Ocean achieves her sixth seasonal victory, exactly half of the total successes won by her club team so far.

THE RACE - Starting from Mirandola, the peloton traveled compactly for many of the 126 kilometers scheduled. Then Irene Cagnazzo (BePink - Imatra - Bongioanni), Camilla Lazzari (Born to Win BTC City Ljubljana Zhiraf), Sara Luccon (Top Girls Fassa Bortolo), Quinty Ton (Liv AlUla Jayco) and Martina Testa (Horizons Cycling Club) escaped, taking control of the group and gaining an important advantage of over two minutes.

The slopes of Monte Calvo thinned out the leading group, and at the mountain grand prix, Cagnazzo, Ton, and shortly behind Amialiusik crossed the summit. The subsequent descent brought the caravan to the gates of Bologna, where the group completed the chase of the BePink - Imatra - Bongioanni and Liv AlUla Jayco athletes, forcing them back into the ranks.

The immediate first climb to Colle della Guardia saw about fifteen athletes gain an advantage, including world champion Vallieres, Le Court, Molman, and Fisher-Black. This was followed by the sound of the bell, a quick descent, and a new climb to San Luca, concluded with the victory of the Mauritian champion.
