Lithuanian Edita Pucinskaite has won the 10th and final stage of the women's Giro d'Italia, and with it the maglia rosa of the overall winner. In the 75 km stage between Erba and Madonna del Ghisallo, the Nobili Rubinetterie rider crossed the line alone, 14 seconds

ahead of Svetlana Bubnenkova (Colnago-Fenixs) and Fabiana Luperini (Top Girls Fassa Bortolo). Overnight leader Nicole Brändli (Bigla Cycling Team), finished at 21 seconds, which was not enough to keep the pink. Susanne Ljungskog (Buitenpoort) was a few seconds behind Brändli in sixth place, and slipped to third on the general classification.

"I am very happy; this win repays me for the great sacrifices that I make," said Pucinskaite, a former world champion who placed second in the 2003 event.
