GP Féminin de Chambéry: Erica Magnaldi takes solo victory in hilly one-day race
Mona Mitterwallner second, Léa Curinier third in Chambéry

While part of her UAE Team ADQ team was competing at the Amstel Gold Race on Sunday, Erica Magnaldi was winning the Grand Prix Féminin de Chambéry one-day race in France.
The women's field raced a challenging 119.4km, and Magnaldi attacked just before the final lap of the race and soloed to the finish line 1:18 ahead of lone chasers Mona Mitterwallner (Human Powered Health) and 2:33 ahead of third-placed Léa Curinier (FDJ-SUEZ).
Crossing the line more than three minutes back was the two-up sprint for fourth won by Barbara Malcotti (Human Powered Health).
"It was a beautiful race, we rode well, all the girls did a great job, and I’m really happy to be back winning. We wanted to make the race hard to try and drop our rivals, and that’s exactly what we did," Magnaldi said.
"Greta [Marturano], Paula [Blasi] and I stayed at the front. We tried several attacks, and then I found the right moment to go solo and just kept pushing until the finish. I kept thinking I didn’t want to get caught – I really wanted this win.
"After finishing second and third in the past, I knew this race suited me, and I also knew I was in good shape. I’d been chasing this win for a while – to repay the team’s trust and also for myself. It took some time, but celebrating today felt amazing. It’s a great confidence boost for the upcoming races.”
