Longo Borghini, Johansson, Cordon, Sanchis score national time trial titles for Wiggle High5
Italy's Elisa Longo Borghini, Sweden's Emma Johansson, France's Audrey Cordon and Spain's Anna Sanchis scored three time trial titles at their respective national championships this week, showing Wiggle High5's international class.
Longo Borghini took her second title, having won the event in 2014, in Romanengo. This year, instead of racing in her Wiggle High5 kit, she decided to wear her police academy skinsuit for the national championships. She is a recent graduate Fiamme Oro, the sports organisation of the Italian Police.

"I finally have it back! I'm really happy," Longo Borghini said. "It's been hard to take it, to be honest, because I only got to ride my bike after the Aviva Women's Tour, so I haven't been able to train on it, or to try to have a good performance. But I just went, and I won the TT. Pretty good, yeah!"
She finished the 20k course in 27:19, beating Tatiana Guderzo (Hitec Products) by just 34 hundredths of a second, while Silvia Valsecchi (BePink) took the bronze medal, 23 seconds back.
"It was very close, but of course I won!" Longo Borghini said. "It was more a victory from the shape I have than proper TT preparation, which is pretty good because it shows that I have good form and I can perform well in the next days."
