Lotta Lepisto (Cervelo Bigla) won the opening prologue at Euskal Emakumeen Bira in Lurreta on Wednesday. She travelled the 3.3km course in 4:12 beating Claire Rosa (Podium Ambition) and her Cervelo teammate Carmen Small.
“I was hoping for a top ten result today,” said Lepisto, who was one of the earlier starters. “When I crossed the line I knew I did a good time so the last two hours of waiting was just torture. The last few weeks I was focused on this prologue. My coach and I went through how I should ride it. We prepared really well for it. I’ve been overthinking the prologues and been nervous so today I worked on really being relaxed but focused.”
