00:00Stage 2 of Giro d'Italia, women would take the riders over 92km from Clusenay to Africa in Lombardia.
00:12The shortest road race stage of the week coming after the Day 1 time trial.
00:17A relatively benign stage though with a couple of raps that could wreak havoc for the sprinter's ambitions.
00:24Marlon Reusser resplendent in the race leader's jersey ahead of the start with all 153 starters from the previous day's time trial reporting for duty representing the 22 teams.
00:37Reusser with a narrow advantage following her time trial ahead of Lodic Capecchi and the reigning champion Elisa Longo-Vorghini.
00:44The reigning Italian road race champion getting the food in ahead of what was expected to be a fast and frenetic stage.
00:55The attack's coming hot and heavy right from the very beginning.
00:58Eventually the first significant attack coming after the halfway point in the stage with Delacine Miermont joining Anna Henderson up front.
01:08Meanwhile Marianna Vos with some shoe difficulties, some footwear problems to be addressed.
01:14One of the pre-stage favourites was quickly back in the main peloton.
01:19Blanco from the Human Powered Health Squad among a couple of riders chasing the duo up front.
01:26Erika Magnaldi was one of the riders in difficulty here.
01:30Veronica Ewers as well.
01:32And from the Serratizit squad, Petroshchenko, all three riders back on their bikes and back into the main peloton as up front.
01:40The leaders with maximum advantage approaching three and a half minutes.
01:44And Anna Henderson taking a very useful six bonus seconds at the intermediate sprint.
01:50Blanco was chased down by the main peloton.
01:54But the leaders up front retaining a significant advantage approaching the major challenges at the back end of the stage.
02:01First of those was a difficult one kilometre climb with ramps exceeding 15%.
02:07The riders reached with 12 kilometres of the day remaining.
02:11Up and over the top of that one and Marianna Vos among those significant riders becoming detached from the group of favourites.
02:18Up front, a duo of Miermont and Anna Henderson had it between themselves.
02:22Over a minute in hand inside the final 10 kilometres.
02:26There's Marilyn Roycer in a bid to protect her overall race leadership and not allow a lot of Kopecky back in.
02:33Kopecky and Vos chasing behind.
02:36Had a remove, an extending remove of over half a minute at that point into the final five kilometres.
02:42A little bit of rain was not likely to dampen the enthusiasm of the riders up front or the chasers behind.
02:47As Henderson and Miermont controlled a lead dwindling inside 30 seconds.
02:54As the leaders continued to fight for stage honours and perhaps even a little bit more for Anna Henderson having been sixth in the previous day's time trial.
03:03Silvia Persico doing the work for the chase group on behalf of Elisa Longo-Borghini.
03:12Meanwhile, the group three on the road including Loda Kopecky and Marianna Vos failing to gain any significant inroads.
03:22They would be detached and not involved in the sprint for honours.
03:26That was among the riders up front and it was Anna Henderson sprinting clear in the closing moments to deny Miermont the stage win.
03:35Anna Henderson taking the seventh victory of her career.
03:38A huge moment for the British rider.
03:41She took her first World Tour success behind Soraya Paladin leading in the chasers and the main favourites group.
03:49And further back, Vos, Kopecky and others losing over two minutes on the day.
03:59So a first World Tour success for Anna Henderson.
04:05With it, the overall race lead.
04:08Dilacine Miermont enhancing her reputation with a fine second place.
04:11And Soraya Paladin, Italian rider on the podium for the Canyon squad.
04:17And Henderson into the overall race lead by 15 seconds from Marlon Reusser.
04:21Elisa Longo-Borghini stays third.
04:25Henderson also leads on points with a decent advantage over Miermont and Reusser now down in third place.
04:34And a hat-trick for Henderson.
04:36She took the climber's points at the finish line and has the lead of the race for the Malia Zura.
04:42Meanwhile, Antonia Niedermeyer remains in the white jersey ahead of stage four.
04:48The German rider has had control of that jersey through 24 and into 25.
04:53Oliver, they've got us in the past six times.
05:08It's too valid.
05:09It's okay.
05:10If you miss thatpm within viele years, then you can get us in the right place.
05:12If we were個ary and they'll drop us in the left place, then we'll be two近ies.
05:13Remember it, Jesus?
05:14We're close left.
05:15Jesus, Lord.
05:15You wish we were able to Fried us in the last couple of months.
05:19But when we were there, it was a very killer of you.
05:19We had stormed us.
05:19Visiting us up to guard us.
05:20We had control of this mountain as theyтя GIANT immer 관심is.
