Elisa Longo Borghini won a fourth consecutive, and seventh career, national time trial title at the Italian Championships on Friday. The Trek-Segafredo rider posted a winning time of 37:44, beating runner-up Marta Cavalli (FDJ-SUEZ) by 47 seconds and third-placed Alessia Vigilia (Top Girls Fassa Bortolo) by 1:11.

"Each victory is always special at the Italian Championships. Now there are 10: 7 in the time trial and 3 in the road race. I liked the course right away, it was suitable for my characteristics. I tried to check the situation in the first checkpoint and then give everything on the following slight slope," Elisa Longo Borghini said.
