Following the stage, Rivera posted on Twitter, “Racing with @UHCprocycling girls is like clockwork. We understand teamwork to the fullest. So proud of them today. Plus @KatieHall47 is QOM!”
Rivera is now leading the overall classification ahead of Ale Cipollini’s Marta Tagliaferro and Lares Waowdeals’ Kelly Markus.
