00:00Il 9th e final stage di Giro d'Italia, la 37th edizione di questo, l'O.G. di Grand Tours.

00:09E' tutto come down a questo, Saluzzo, e il 49 second gap che separa,

00:144 time winner overall di questa gara, Anna van der Breggen.

00:18E Damie Vollering, che non ha mai vinto questa gara prima,

00:21looking a completare il triplo di Grand Tours, e ci sono in Saluzzo,

00:25Anna van der Breggen, looking molto confidente in la Maliarosa.

00:29Damie Vollering, focused and concentrated in the blue of the Maliar Azura.

00:34There was Elisa Balsamo in that Maliarosa, having won 4 stages, too.

00:41Looking good to bring that one home, but she'd need to complete the 145km.

00:45We did have an early breakaway of 4 riders,

00:48but that was wound in before we got to the first, first category climb of Montoso.

00:53And it was Damie Vollering in the Queen of the Mountains Maliar Azura jersey,

00:57leading across the top in a very select leading group as well.

01:02But that having happened, we had another advance party.

01:05Elisa Longoborgini, the defending champion and 2 time winner of the general classification,

01:09going over the top in a leading group of 3, being chased by Femke De Vries.

01:14Once again, Lauren Dixon, the British rider, was doing an incredible ride for FDJ Suiz,

01:20and, of course, her team leader, Damie Vollering.

01:25They would catch up with Femke De Vries, led by Anna van der Breggen,

01:29looking confident and in control in the Maliarosa,

01:32and swapping turns with the Maliar Azura of Damie Vollering.

01:39De Vries sitting in, and Lauren Dixon still doing everything she could

01:42to keep adding to that advantage and closing the gap, hopefully, on these three.

01:46The big advantage here was with Antonia Niedermeyer, the German rider for Canyon SRAM.

01:51Lauren Dixon was done, and it was back to Anna van der Breggen in the race lead

01:56to try and make sure she could close the gap on Niedermeyer, who was flying out front.

02:01Damie Vollering once again using the lifts in the middle of the stage

02:04on the Brondello climb to try and break Anna van der Breggen, and it worked.

02:09The four-time champion in the Maliarosa being distanced by Damie Vollering on the climb as well,

02:14and Vollering going solo in pursuit of these three riders.

02:17It was Antonia Niedermeyer who led over the top of Brondello,

02:20and further down the mountain, you could see the Maliarosa by herself

02:25chasing the Maliar Azura.

02:27Damie Vollering going on a charge to try and stay ahead of Anna van der Breggen

02:31and see if she could catch Niedermeyer up the road in that breakaway

02:35with Niamh Fischer-Black and Elisa Longo-Borghini, the Italian champion.

02:39It had all come down to this final stage.

02:41People were questioning and wondering whether the final stage would be enough

02:44to make up the gaps that weren't able to be gained on the Queen stage yesterday,

02:48but it was proving to be enough.

02:51We were watching the clock top left, and look at that.

02:53Damie Vollering catching up with Niedermeyer at the front of the race

02:56with Niamh Fischer-Black and Elisa Longo-Borghini,

02:58and behind an unlikely companion in Femke de Vries for, well, the race leader,

03:05Anna van der Breggen in the Maliarosa, desperately chasing this leading group,

03:10and Damie Vollering straight to the front of the lead group,

03:13watching that gap.

03:151.26.

03:16Damie Vollering has started the day just 49 seconds off the race lead,

03:21and she was in the race lead, of course.

03:23Coming back into Saluzzo, she just kept extending.

03:25Extending the group she was with, of course, delighted to see her there

03:29because she would just keep pulling and pulling all the way to the finish.

03:3310k to go, and the gap was 2 minutes and 14.

03:37Damie Vollering in the race lead virtually on the road,

03:40but she needed to finish it off.

03:42You never, ever underestimate Anna van der Breggen,

03:45two-time world champion, four-time winner of this race overall.

03:49Never, ever giving up.

03:51And amongst these leading fours that came to the finish,

03:53they knew the stage win of the ninth and final stage was in their grasp in Saluzzo,

03:57but who would it be?

03:58Damie Vollering, no doubt about it, would keep pushing.

04:01She needed as much advantage as she possibly could,

04:04and that's what she did to the line in Saluzzo.

04:06It was Niamh Fischer-Black of Lidl Trek ready to go.

04:10Antonia Niedermeyer also very conscious of her general classification position,

04:13so Niamh Fischer-Black went first,

04:15chased by Elisa Longoborghini.

04:19Longoborghini, the Italian champion,

04:20hadn't yet won a stage, two-time champion overall, of course,

04:24and she made that right on the final stage

04:27as she celebrated Damie Vollering behind being told

04:31she had enough of a gap to celebrate.

04:33It was the gap back to this rider, Anna van der Breggen,

04:37brought in by Femke de Vries,

04:39but on the final day,

04:41Anna van der Breggen, who'd looked so good after the time trial,

04:44had lost the race lead.

04:46Damie Vollering completes the triplet of Grand Tours.

04:51Incredible.

04:51Elisa Longoborghini delighting the crowd, of course,

04:54with her stage win.

04:55The Italian champion and the European champion,

04:58Damie Vollering, as I say,

04:59taking her first ever Giro d'Italia women win overall.

05:04That was the podium.

05:06Elisa Balsamo delighted the Italian fans also

05:08with her four stage wins,

05:09and the Malia Rosa as well as the best sprinter in the race,

05:14with no doubt.

05:14Damie Vollering also, without doubt,

05:16the best climber in the race

05:17and rewarded with the Malia Azura.

05:21Best young rider, breakout star,

05:23the 21-year-old Isabella Holmgren, the Canadian.

05:28Best team, Lidl Trek.

05:30No great surprise with their climbing prowess

05:32as well in this race.

05:34and a final opportunity for them on the podium

05:36before we see Damie Vollering

05:38holding up the trofeo Luce Infinita.

05:44Elisa, congratulations.

05:45A few days ago, you write that

05:47there are days that are more than a win,

05:49and we can say that this win

05:51is more than a simple win for you.

05:54Yeah, this means much more than a win.

05:57and this is a comeback.

06:03I don't say that I've been vulnerable

06:07these months, both in my body

06:12and also in my mind.

06:14There were days where I thought that

06:18everything probably would never come back,

06:21and I was maybe, yeah, done, you know.

06:27I've been very sick the past three months,

06:30and I worked very hard to come back.

06:33I'm not still 100%,

06:35but I didn't want to leave this Giro

06:38without leaving a mark.

06:40And today in the bus,

06:42I felt this anger coming inside me,

06:47and I was like, I have nothing to lose.

06:50I don't care about the GC,

06:52and I just want to go

06:54and I want to do it for my teammates

06:56that are simply amazing.

07:00And I just wanted to, yeah, to win.

07:04That was the only thing I was thinking today,

07:08to win.

07:09And this is a victory that goes

07:14to all the people that love me.

07:17and we celebrated a lot of riders

07:21that are finishing their career,

07:23but we never mentioned one of the riders

07:25that is one of the best domestic in the world,

07:29and is Elena, my teammate, Amiel Jusic.

07:32And this victory is also for her

07:34because it's her last Giro,

07:35and next year she will stop.

07:37So this is for you, Elena,

07:39and thank you very much

07:41for everything you did for me.

07:43We have seen a lot of people

07:45cheering for you,

07:46cheering for your anger,

07:48but also for your heart.

07:49Everyone thinks

07:51when you don't have enough legs,

07:53Elisa has the heart.

07:55This is maybe a message

07:56you want to send during this Giro.

07:59Yeah, exactly.

08:00When you don't have legs,

08:03you have to use your head

08:07and use your heart.

08:09The heart can do a lot.

08:11The will can do a lot.

08:13And in the end,

08:16we are humans.

08:17And it's fine to lose

08:19and it's fine also

08:21to stand on your knees,

08:24but to get up

08:25and to put your chin up

08:27and fight with pride.

08:30Thank you.

08:31Jamie, congratulations.

08:32Pinks fit very well on you.

08:35What are the emotions

08:35on wearing the Malha Rosa?

08:37It's crazy.

08:38I think I cannot describe it yet.

08:42It feels so surreal.

08:44I mean, we made this plan

08:45yesterday evening already.

08:47Yesterday evening,

08:49a large hour de yes

08:50and Elisa Lott

08:51they came to our table

08:52when we were having dinner

08:53and they started to joke

08:55a little bit like

08:56prepare yourself

08:57because tomorrow

08:57is going to be

08:58a very long

08:59and very big day

08:59for all of us.

09:00And the girls,

09:01they were like,

09:02oh yeah, let's go.

09:04And from the start on

09:05they were on fire.

09:06They really tried

09:07to be in the breakaway.

09:08That didn't happen.

09:10But then my teammate,

09:12they directly put a pace

09:14on this long first climb.

09:16And yeah,

09:17Laurence,

09:18she was amazing today.

09:19She kept going.

09:21And then we made it

09:22over the top

09:22with a small group.

09:24and I just,

09:28today was all about

09:29daring to lose.

09:31I had to dare

09:32to lose it all.

09:33So I was able to

09:35and yeah,

09:36I let Antonia go away

09:38and I was like to Anna,

09:40I'm fine with also turret

09:41because second or third

09:42doesn't matter to me.

09:43It's now up to you

09:45to work

09:45and then I had to try

09:48to drop her somewhere

09:49and I really went

09:50all in on that last climb.

09:52I knew that was

09:53like the time trial

09:54of my life

09:55I had to do there.

09:56Well,

09:57and then it was

09:57still so long

09:58to the finish

09:59but

10:01I did it.

10:03We did it

10:03and I can still

10:06not believe it.

10:07We have seen

10:08your huge attack

10:10on the climb

10:10and when did you realize

10:13that the Maglia

10:14could be yours?

10:16Well,

10:16I only dared to dream

10:17of it

10:18when I only had

10:19already two minutes

10:20before I was really

10:22still like

10:23because also

10:23like I held cramp

10:25everywhere

10:26in my legs

10:27so I was really

10:28I was really

10:29like

10:30with still 20k

10:31to go

10:31I was like

10:32I hope I make it

10:33to the finish line

10:34but

10:35the group I was in

10:36was working

10:37really well together

10:37and

10:38yeah,

10:39it was quite a fast terrain

10:40so I was like

10:41okay,

10:42I think

10:42I think this might work

10:44and then I just

10:45I was flying

10:46I was like

10:48it gave me

10:49really wings today

10:50to have the thought

10:51that it was maybe

10:52possible
