Summary

Two time winner of the event Elisa Longo Borghini missed the event after testing positive for COVID-19, [4] with 2022 winner Elisa Balsamo of Trek–Segafredo tipped for victory. [1]

In the first half of the race, no decisive breakaway escaped, with the peloton entering the finishing circuit with 70 kilometres remaining. [2] [5] On the second lap, a group of seven riders including four-time winner Marianne Vos of Team Jumbo–Visma and 2018 winner Katarzyna Niewiadoma of Canyon–SRAM escaped on the descent from the Casalzuigno climb, gaining around a 10 second lead. Led by Grace Brown of FDJ–Suez, the peloton quickly shut down the gap, reabsorbing the group. [2] [5]

During the Orino climb and the subsequent descent, a group of three riders slowly escaped the peloton, eventually gaining a lead of around a minute entering the penultimate lap. On the next ascent of the Orino climb, an attack led by Gaia Realini of Trek–Segafredo closed the gap. Her teammate Shirin van Anrooij then launched a solo attack at the top of the climb with around 25 kilometres (16 mi) remaining. [2] [5]

Starting the final lap, van Anrooij had a 11 second lead over a large chase group of 30 seconds behind. However, the chase group did not make ground on van Anrooij, as key contenders like Brown, Elise Chabbey of Canyon–SRAM and Mavi García of Movistar attempted attacks of their own from the chasing group. Vos faded away due to leg cramps on the final climb of Orino. [6]

Over the top of the final ascent of Orino, van Anrooij had a lead of around 25 seconds, which she held to the finishing line in Cittiglio. [2] [5] It was van Anrooij's first major win on the road, after multiple major cyclo-cross wins. [5] In a sprint finish for second place, Balsamo made it a 1-2 finish for Trek–Segafredo, beating Vittoria Guazzini of FDJ–Suez for third place. [2] [5] Lorena Wiebes maintained her leaders jersey of the UCI Women's World Tour. [2]
