“È it was a great performance by the team – Longo Borghini’s words at the end of the race -, we had planned an attack race and everything è unfolded perfectly. The victory è for my husband Jacopo Mosca”.
I am really happy for this victory that opens the Ardennes week in the best way: now I am waiting for the Amstel, the Arrow in which I will work for Gaia Realini and then the Liège”, she concluded.
