When Elisa Longo Borghini and her teammate Silvia Persico attacked with 20 km to go, the move could have been called ridiculous, but 13 km later, when Longo Borghini had gained a minute's advantage over pink jersey wearer Marlen Reusser, brilliant was a more accurate description.

What makes the move even more brilliant is that it wasn't the plan.
