Van der Breggen wins the title -

SIPA

Imola, this is her home.

Two days after winning the world time trial title, Dutchwoman Anna van der Breggen doubled up with the road race title.

And how!

Starting solo 40 miles from the finish, she mystified everyone to finish alone in the world, with nearly a minute and thirty seconds ahead of her compatriot Van Vleuter and the Italian Longo Borghini, who completed the podium. 

The Imola circuit has proven that it can be very tough and selective ahead of the men's race on Sunday, where Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe will be among the favorites in the race along with Belgian Wout Van Aert.
