Mayuko Hagiwara Wins Gro Stage Six

A Japanese cyclist has won for the first time a Giro Rosa stage: it's happened today with Mayuko Hagiwara, with a splendid solo triumph in Morbegno. The decisive attack was done at the beginning of the last climb (Caspano, II° Category). Nobody could make any attack in the main group until the top of the climb where it was a strong acceleration. The japanese could be catched in the last 5 km but it's not happened and the Japanese Sport can celebrate an historical moment had on the roads of the Province of Sondrio. 

Megan Guarnier, the Pink Jersey, resists and wins the sprint of the main peloton, with a gap of about 30''. She gains more seconds in the General Classification with only tree stages to go.
