The second goal was to gain time in the general classification with Matilde Vitillo, and we succeeded in that too.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-20-at-16.50.06-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-20-at-16.50.06-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-20-at-16.50.06-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-20-at-16.50.06-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-20-at-16.50.06-370x493.jpeg 370w, https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-20-at-16.50.06-840x1120.jpeg 840w, https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-20-at-16.50.06-410x547.jpeg 410w, https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-20-at-16.50.06-375x500.jpeg 375w, https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-20-at-16.50.06-300x400.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-20-at-16.50.06-24x32.jpeg 24w, https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-20-at-16.50.06-780x1040.jpeg 780w, https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-20-at-16.50.06.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second stage of the\u00a0Giro Mediterraneo in Rosa\u00a0could not have been any better for the Liv AlUla Jayco Continental Team.\u00a0Emma Jeffers\u00a0took the victory in the bunch sprint, while\u00a0Matilde Vitillo\u00a0is&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50668,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[296,386],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50685"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50685"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50685\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50689,"href":"https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50685\/revisions\/50689"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenedgecycling.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
