UNMATCHED SPEED! 🔥 | 2026 Women's Giro d'Italia Stage 3 Final KM's | TNT Sports Cycling

Yeah, it's really great to see a young rider like this taking the opportunity and giving it a proper shot. And yeah, it would be great to see something like this turn out to be successful for her, because it would really, of course, be a very big career win for her. But often what happens if a rider like this does put in a move in a race like this and they are successful, then it becomes more and more difficult for them to repeat it, because then they do become marked. But yeah, really great to see her putting herself out there. Yeah, you get to pull off those moves like that once, maybe twice a year. But at the moment, so aero on the bike as well. The UNO-X rider just powering on here at the front, fully invested in this attack is Sigrid Hauser. Can she pull off the surprise you just saw as well? Her general classification position, 20 seconds down at the moment, goes through that four-kilometer-to-go point. And the UNO-X mobility rider. And as you get in towards that two-kilometer-to-go point, Alice, that's where they will then start looking around and thinking about that sprint. They will start to think about it. At the moment, again, we've got FDJ United-Suez, who are doing the chasing. She's got seven seconds at the moment. She looks solid on the bike. But there is still Celia Giroux, who is in that group behind. I would be surprised if they were bringing this back for Demi Vollering, with the likes of Balsamo in there. And again, we know the dangers, even in a smaller sprint, to be getting involved in that. But if Celia Giroux has recovered from the effort she put into setting the pace on the climb, then she looks like she could still be up for the finish with the chasing that they're doing at the moment. The road rises ahead of Sigrid Hauser here with three kilometers to go. Looking around that group, the fast finishers that are in here. Some riders have got strength in numbers, but ten seconds is the gap here from the Uno-X mobility rider just trying to hold off the peloton here, trying to hold off what is left of the peloton, rather, and try and pull off the opportunistic move. And everyone was looking around, but it is those black jerseys of FDJ United-Suez that are hunting her down here. But Sigrid Hauser is just going to power this one and try and take it all the way towards the finish. And there's that final turn as well, and then that kick up towards the line, and that is where this attack is really going to start to hurt, Alice. It's going to really start to hurt on that drag up to the finish line, of course. The gap can come down really quickly when you've got a charging and sprinting peloton behind. There's still a lot of fighting for position. Again, we've got Millie Cousins there on the left-hand side of the screen, another rider who is favorable in this kind of sprint as well. Of course, you've mentioned Lily Williams-Balsamo still there. We can just see the pink skin suit of hers pointing through, and Lidl track has started to take up the chase as well for her with Niamh Fisher-Black on the front of the peloton. Elisa Balsamo, she said yesterday this was another one of the stages that she was targeting. It's a sprint and a course and a route that suited her skill set. She just had to limit her losses on the climb, and that's what she did coming back on that descent. She now has her Lidl track teammates on the front, but Sigrid Halser is through. Two kilometers to go here for Uno-X Mobility. The Norwegian rider, no pro wins in her career, and has tried to time this one as perfectly as she can, but we see looking around this group, Celia Giroux there looking around for Demi Vollering. She is looking around for Demi Vollering, but again, the teams are just running out of numbers at the moment. Isabella Holgren was also at the front there, that was looking to do some work, but has drifted back and been absorbed by the peloton more. We also got Femke Meurisse there for SD Works Pro Time, but the teammates not committing to helping bring this move back. UAE Team ADQ also there trying to help with positioning. So it does look, unfortunately, really close at the moment. She's not being given much of a distance. It says seven seconds. Of course, it looks less than that, but that left-hander into that rise up of around 5% is going to really kill the legs of her. And it looked like Demi Vollering collected Celia Giroux on the way through towards the front. Those black jerseys, FDJ United, looking to try and lead out for the young French rider. It's through the flamme rouge. One kilometer to go for Sigrid Halser as she tries to pull off the victory here. There's that final corner ahead of her, and the road will just start to rise up towards the finish. And that sprint, that charge behind will come 500 meters, averaging 5%, maxing out at 10%. But Sigrid Halser just takes the opportunity, looks back over the shoulder, and she'll swing through this final corner, and the road will then just start to rise ahead of her. She has just got to dig deep here in this final kilometer. You've got to keep that self-belief that you can hold off that charging peloton behind. But it's Eleonora Gasparini here who's leading out this sprint. She's got Elisa Longoborghini on the wheel. Elisa Balsamo in the Malle Rosa is right there. Millie Cousins moving up. It looks like it's going to be heartbreak for Halser, but here comes Lily Williams. Big move from the human-powered health rider, Lily Williams coming through with speed. Williams opening up for the finish. Balsamo in the slipstream. Elisa Balsamo comes off the wheel now of Lily Williams. Elisa Balsamo, she rolled with the punches on the climb. Balsamo pulls off the victory yet again. The Malle Rosa makes it three. Balsamo takes the stage and extends the lead in the general classification. What a finish, Alice.
