Four Strong Performances to Conclude Our "Italian Block" and Road Season

 

Only a couple of races separated us from the end of what has been another successful season, and our team was determined to finish it on a high note — showing once again the same fighting spirit and determination that have brought so many victories and memorable moments throughout the year.

 

Giro dell’Emilia Donne - 04/10

The first race of the block took place between Mirandola and Bologna, finishing on the famous San Luca climb - tackled twice in the finale.
It turned into a perfect day for AG Insurance - Soudal, as Kim Le Court delivered a stunning solo victory, fulfilling a long-time dream. Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio also rode strongly to take 10th, after supporting her teammate throughout the race.

“Really proud to take the win today. Not just for myself, but for my team and family. This one feels extra special because I’ve always dreamed of winning solo, and today I made that dream a reality.
The girls were incredible out there, so committed from start to finish. Their belief in me is what gives me the strength to do what I do,” said Kim Le Court.

Results:
1st – Kim Le Court
10th – Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio

Tre Valli Varesine - 07/10

Just three days later, the team lined up for Tre Valli Varesine - a relentless race featuring six ascents of Montello Hill. Despite the tough course and fierce competition, our riders once again showed consistency and teamwork.
