Prologue - June 25: Pergine Valsugana TTT, 3 km

Farm Frites win exhibition prologue

Italy has enjoyed warm sunny conditions all week, in the lead up to the 11th Giro d'Italaia Femmenile. The weather for the prologue, on Sunday evening was cool, after a day in the mid twenties.

The Prologue was a Teams Time Trial, which was more of spectacle for the media and sponsors, than a serioume trial, only the final 800m counting for time. Farm Frites Hartol took out the stage, led by Leontien Zijlaard-Van Moorsel, with the Acca Due O-Lorena Camicie team in second place.

Report by Mark Carter, who is with the Australian team in the Giro.
