Anna Van Der Bruggen Win Giro Rosa Time Trial

Last updated : 12 July 2015 By Giro Rosa
The Dutch Champion hasn't disappointed the bets of the Eve and wins in the ITT Pisano - Nebbiuno (21.7 km) valid as 8th stage of the Giro Rosa. The route has been very unusual for the speciality, as it was full of curves, climbs and descends. Anna Van der Breggen is a real Queen of this speciality and wins with 1'02'' from the former Pink Jersey Megan Guarnier (Boels Dolmans), and with 1'16 from Ashleigh Moolman (Bigla Pro Cycling Team). Another big performances were done by Kathrin Garfoot (Orica-AIS) and Katarzyna Niewadoma (Rabo-Liv) who can be very important for the new Pink Jersey tomorrow on the climb to San Domenico di Varzo, where the Giro Rosa winner will be decided.
