Marta Andreu Vilajosana finishes solo

Slyusareva mantains pink

Spanish rider Marta Andreu Vilajosana (Nobili Rubinetterie), has won the fifth stage of the Giro d’Italia Donne solo. She triumpherd after 92 kilometres in the stage that started and finished in Pescia. Vilajosana attacked with five kilometres to go, and held off Charlotte Becker (Colnago – Fenixs) and Annette Beutler (Buitenport – Flexpoint). Olga Slyusareva, after winning the pink jersey yesterday, was able to keep it.
"I dedicate this win to my team manager," said Vilajosana. "He told me when it the right time was to attack." Slyusareva added that, "It’s always difficult to defend this jersey, tomorrow I will know if I have the possibilities to win this Giro."
