Swedish Susanne Ljungskog (Buitenpoort-Flexpoint) has won the seventh stage of the Women's Giro d'Italia. The dual world champion beat Nicole Brändli (Bigla Cycling Team) and Svetlana Bubnenkova (Colnago Fenixs) after attacking with one kilometre to go to the uphill finish in Mondovì. As a results, Brändli reclaimed the leader's jersey that she wore in the first three stages, and now looks to be the favourite for back to back wins.

"I'm very happy with this win," said Ljungskog. "I know that this race will be decided next Sunday on the climb of Ghisallo".

Nicole Brändli commented, "It's not possible to beat Olga Slioussareva in the final sprint, so, today we decided to attack from the first climbs."
