Elisa Longo Borghini wins Women's Tour in dramatic final
Elisa Longo Borghini claimed the Women's Tour title by one second following a thrilling sprint finish in Oxford.
Grace Brown had gone into Saturday's final stage as the leader by three seconds, but Italian Trek-Segafredo rider Borghini's sprint for the line saw her cross in third and earn a four-second time bonus over her Australian rival.
DSM's Lorena Wiebes won the stage to claim her third victory of the week.
"We decided to go for the intermediate sprint and I was fourth so I was like, 'Okay, that's the second place and that's it," Borghini said. "But then all my team-mates kept my morale up, and said we try at the finish and we'll do the lead-out for you. "I was really doubting, but when you see such a team that is motivated and they are really believing in you, just want to give them back everything."
