Italian national champion Elisa Longo Borghini<\/a> (UAE Team ADQ) climbed to a solo victory in the Trofeo Tessile & Moda Donne, claiming the win at the top of the ascent to the Santuario di Oropa.<\/p>\n

The final, 6.7km climb saw a whittling-down process amongst the big names, with Longo Borghini going away with Marlen Reusser<\/a> (Movistar) in the finale.<\/p>\n

The Italian then attacked the Movistar rider with 3km to go, and soloed to the win, adding to her victory at Tre Valli Varesine<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Reusser held on to take second at the misty summit, whilst Ur\u0161ka \u017digart<\/a> (AG Insurance-Soudal) finished third as riders finished in ones and twos after the final climb broke things apart.<\/p>\n

A new addition to the calendar for 2025, the women’s Trofeo Tessile & Moda attracted five WorldTour teams, and saw the peloton take on 95.3km in northern Italy, culminating atop the 6.7km Oropa climb, with average gradients of 7.9%.<\/p>\n

A 10-rider breakaway was away in the flatter early part of the race, but they were all reeled in ahead of the finale.<\/p>\n

As expected, the race came down the final ascent, with a small group of WorldTour riders battling it out in a gruelling drag race, with Longo Borghini proving the strongest to end her season on a high.<\/p>\n

“It’s never easy to win,” she said about winning after starting the race as a clear favourite.<\/p>\n

“You always have to put a lot of effort, and today I was motivated to win here, it’s my region in Piemonte, and it’s a climb that I really like, even if it’s my first time climbing it properly in a race. I felt very honoured to be able to race up here.”<\/p>\n

Sunday’s race marked the first time a major women’s race has featured the Oropa climb, site of an iconic Marco Pantani victory, and most recently a display from Tadej Poga\u010dar in the Giro d’Italia.<\/p>\n

“It’s a big honour to be able to climb up to Oropa where Pantani made history. Yesterday I made all my teammates watch the famous climbing from Pantani,” Longo Borghini said.<\/p>\n

“It was nice and I do believe that this race can have a nice future, I hope for maybe a longer race and a bigger field and then I hope this race will become a nice autumn Classic.<\/p>\n
