Emma Pooley (Cervelo TestTeam) showcased her climbing prowess with a dominating solo victory on the Giro del Trentino's opening stage. The Briton covered the 75km into Appiano nearly three minutes ahead of Alessandra D'Ettorre (Top Girls Fassa Bortolo) and Rasa Leleivyte (Safi Pasta Zara).
Pooley attacked on the category 1 climb over the Mendola pass and only Italy's Noemi Cantele (HTC Columbia Women) could keep pace. Pooley attacked again on the 45km ascent and arrived at the summit with a four-minute advantage. Pooley maintained most of her lead on the 20km descent to the finish to take a decisive lead in the three-day event.
"It was a really long climb, 45 km but not really steep," said Pooley. "On the climb I went in the lead with Cantele but she didn't work and was just on my wheel. The first time I attacked, she was able to follow. But with the second attack I was able to drop her.
"I wanted to make the gap as big as possible because I knew that she is good on the downhill and I didn't want to take to many risks with the Giro d' Italia in mind. Once again our team is really strong, and any one of my teammates could also be in my position today. We will defend the yellow jersey now and try to win this race."
