Anna van der Breggen finishes second at the Trofeo Alfredo Binda, narrowly missing her first victory in this prestigious race. The 35-year-old athlete from SD Worx-Protime competes fiercely but falls short against Karlijn Swinkels, who claims her first WorldTour win. After a significant crash involving three teammates, including Blanka Vas, the team faces challenges early on. "Given the situation, this was the best we could achieve," Van der Breggen states. Despite the setback, she pushes hard, joining a six-rider break and dropping competitors on the final climbs. The strategy shifts as UAE Team ADQ controls the pace, ultimately leading to Swinkels’ victory. Blanka Vas finishes fourth in the chase group. SD Worx-Protime searches for a breakthrough in the Classics as the season progresses.
