‘s gilet made it up La Planche de Belles Filles yesterday?!? 🤓
I've been thinking a lot about my country the last months. As athlete I can only try to create some emotions for people watching to me racing and I hope to have done it a little today trying to honour my jersey and trying to bring home the European title. This is for my Italia 😊
My highlight of GP Eibar isn't the podium. At the start a lady came to me clearly asking for a picture in Spanish. I posed but she said "no, no I mean I want YOU to take a picture of me with
@AnnavdBreggen
" (eventually Anna was next to me) - You see who's famous in the bunch 🤣
On this special day we - my
@TrekSegafredo
teammates and I- have decided to make a new step in the long road for women's empowerment in sport.
Happy international women's day to all of us!
Update on

🤕
She had a good night and checks performed this morning show no sign of concussion. However, she is still in some considerable pain, and for this reason, with regret, the Team believes the right decision is for her not to start today’s stage of
Day 8: It seems like we took this pic while going to have a pic-nick in a cool place. In the end we went to a cool place but to race team relay. We gave our best and we brought home a silver medal. Thanks a lot for all the nice messages& to our staff for supporting us so good! ☺️
"All or nothing" - Today it was all!
Stoked by the team work, emotional for the win!
This is for the ones who are always next to me, maybe not all the time on the side of the road but with their thoughts! You're my strenght !😊 Thanks for all the messages of congratulations!
🚨 Unfortunately
@ElisaLongoB
has also had to withdraw from the
@LeTourFemmes
ahead of today’s Col du Tourmalet stage, one which she was looking forward to. The Italian champion has a skin infection at the top of the left thigh, which required hospital treatment after
#TDFF2023
With regret I won’t be at the start of
#TDFF2024
due to the consequences of a crash in training. No fractures, but I left lot of skin on the road and I can’t ride my bike.
I feel gutted not to be alongside my teammates to fight for a great Tour for

. Good luck ladies!
The good news of the day:
@ElisaLongoB
is back in training! 💪
After withdrawing from

due to a skin infection, she needed surgery and time to fully recover.
Now the Italian 🇮🇹 champion is back to health, she can start to ride again. Elisa will have a gradual return to
Cycling IS a team sport! Giro Rosa started with a TTT and we won it. Such a nice feeling to wear the maglia rosa for the first time in my life! Since tomorrow I'll be starting in pink I have to thank this bunch of ladies and all the people around us that never pop up in the pics!
Today I didn't want to start. Then I saw that tomorrow we will be in Breganze and my grandma promised to come down from Asiago to watch me and I got SCARED. I had to start, no matter what. You don't know my grandma. She throws slippers if you disappoint her.

I don't know what 2019 will bring me but surely it has already given me a new bike and a new kit! 😊😊 I'm so happy to finally be able to show the jersey and the bike I'll be using this year!

The end & beginning of a year are normally times to post something. At this moment I struggle a bit with it. Thinking of Amy, nothing else seems important. I don’t know if posting about Amy will help her, but who knows

💪🏻 May the power of the peloton be with you ❤️
Sorry for the bike throw today. It was done in the heat of the moment and I was very frustrated because the bikes would not untangle. It was unacceptable and I am truly sorry. My apologies to
@biglateam
, I would never intentionally cause damage to someone else or their property.
There aren't many races missing from

Bye Ardennes!A week of hard racing is done and dusted. A lot of lessons learnt and two 3rd places at Flèche Wallonne and Bastogne- Liège. Now time to recover and to spend some time with people I love the most before building up for the other important goals. 🥳

Brava Elisa una 🏅meritata per un'atleta che rispetta al 100% i valori olimpici.: FAIR PLAY, PARTECIPAZIONE, AMICIZIA, LEALTA', SOLIDARIETA', IMPEGNO, RISPETTO, CORAGGIO, MIGLIORAMENTO DI SE', PACE, UGUAGLIANZA E INTERNAZIONALISMO

and today I'm just overwhelmed of being part of this amazing bunch of people.
I have no words: stage victory, GC, mountain and regularity jerseys. GRAZIE! 😘
Heading home tomorrow with three good races in the back pockets of my jersey.
Today we raced Durango- Durango and I ended up 3rd.
Racing in the Basque Countries is really something special, I like it so much!

Recently I've been asked the reason why I haven't moved to the "cycling Walhalla" aka Girona for training. Well, this is the answer: I'm in love with my mountains and my lake AND with my beloved family here at home ❤

Yesterday it was an epic day at Bastogne- Liège (
@LiegeBastogneL
) - A nice battle which, in my opinion, should have been shown on television. Same for Flèche Wallonne. It's such a pity that two races with so much charm weren't televised.

It's disappointing to lose the podium just for few seconds in team relay. This wasn't our luckiest day... I had a puncture and I feel sorry for the rest of the squad.
Let's focus on the other races now!

The last stage today was a "interesting" one 🤯 We had to make the race hard to try to defend the podium. Our small team did such a great job! I finished this stage race in second place and I also ended my season. What a 2020! Thanks everybody for the congrats and for following!
Le strisce pedonali colorate con i colori delle maglie del Tour in uno dei paesi che abbiamo attraversato sono state una delle cose più belle di oggi! Che spettacolo! Merci

Today we did the recon and although I've been racing this race quite few times, I'm always really stunned by the course: beautiful landscapes, hard climbs and technical gravel sections. A nice one!
On the bus towards the airport after some solid 16 days of training with

Yesterday evening while I was strolling along the lake with my boyfriend, a little girl recognized me, came to me and gave me a rose. That's one the best rewards I ever got 😊 Nice, small things that touch your heart!

Audrey has just won the French 🇫🇷 RR Championship, realizing the dream to win both titles in the same year
Huge congrats Audrey 👊
Since I'm using the front and the rear bike lights I feel much safer and I do realize I have less cars getting "furious" at me. I think they might recognize me more like a vehicle than an obstacle on the road. I recommend everybody to use lights during the rides!
#sharetheroad
I love my mom, she genuinely asked me after the stage "did you hunger flat? You looked a little tired at the top of Matajur" - No, mom, I was a block from km 0 😅 (even before since the attacks started 100meters before it!)

Hello! I’ve been asked to do a daily (kind of…) diary of this Australian trip, so here I am!
Day 1: “Same Same but different”.
Australia 2022, 10 degrees vs Australia 2019, 40 degrees.
From my face it’s pretty easy to guess which weather I like the most 😁
