Just like last year, Zoulfia Zabirova (Let’s Go Finland) attacked on the Cipressa climb in the 118km Primavera Rosa. And just like last year, Zabirova came down Via Roma the victor.

Coming across the line solo, the Russian held up two fingers – for the victory and for her second consecutive Primavera victory. Dutch rider Mirjam Melchers (Farm Frites-Hartol) led the main bunch through to take second.
