Winner of stage 2, Anna Henderson (Lidl-Trek) is the new leader of the Giro d'Italia Women 2025, winning by a big enough margin to take pink after finishing sixth on the opening time trial.
Henderson took the pink jersey from Marlen Reusser (Movistar), who won stage 1, but finished in a main group 26 seconds down on Henderson on stage 2, enough to cede the jersey.
Reusser is still in second overall, now 15 seconds down on Henderson, whilst Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team ADQ) is still in third, and Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime) is in fourth.
Monica Trinca Colonel (Jayco AlUla) moved up to fifth as several new riders moved into the top 10, including Henderson's breakaway partner Dilyxine Miermont (Ceratizit) who climbed up to 10th from 66th place.
The biggest loser on the day was Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime), who dropped down to 24th from second after losing 2:08 on the climb to Aprica.
