Description: Highlights from stage 3 of the Giro Donne 2023. The race heads to Emilia-Romagna for a 118.1km route between Formigine and Modena. It's almost entirely flat with just one cat. 3 climb in the first half of the stage, meaning this should be the first chance for the sprinters to make their mark on the race.

After a cancelled time trial and a climbing day, it was eventually time for the sprinters to battle it out on stage 3 of the Giro d'Italia Donne.

Starting in Formigine and finishing in Modena, the 118km stage had just one small climb dropped in the middle of an otherwise totally flat profile. 

Two different groups of riders spent time out front as the day's breakaways, but both were ultimately doomed with the sprint teams very determined to bring things back together for a bunch kick.

In the finale, where the GC times were taken at 1km to go due to the technical finish, SD Worx gave Lorena Wiebes a perfect lead-out to take her eighth win of the season ahead of Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma) and Chloé Dygert (Canyon-SRAM).
