Elise Chabbey (FDJ United-Suez) clinches a stunning victory at the women's Strade Bianche, outpacing Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney (Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto) in a nail-biting sprint through Siena. Franzi Koch (FDJ United-Suez) secures third, fending off Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team ADQ).
Chabbey initiates an early break with Dominika Włodarczyk (UAE Team ADQ), but they are reeled in by a chasing group with 40km to go. The race heats up as nine riders reach Le Tolfe together. Niewiadoma-Phinney and Longo Borghini make a bold move on the steep climb, gaining a brief advantage before being caught by Chabbey and others just 6km from the finish.
With all riders together in the final kilometer, Chabbey finds her moment, overtaking after Koch's attack and holding off Niewiadoma-Phinney to seize the win.
