La Vuelta Femenina 2023: Gaia Realini earns stunning maiden World Tour win as Annemiek van Vleuten takes red jersey
Italy’s Gaia Realini (Trek-Segafredo) produced a stunning sprint to the line to pip Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar) to Stage 6 victory at La Vuelta Femenina and take her first ever World Tour win, but the world champion was consoled by taking the leader’s red jersey. Realini played the final stages perfectly and kept pace with the Dutchwoman as the pair broke away from the rest of the field 30km from the finish, saving enough energy to win the two-up sprint even with a contentious photo finish putting some doubt into the result which was changed twice.
