Road race
[edit | edit source]Race report
[edit | edit source]The race took place on a wet course on 21 April. After 25 kilometer a group of 6 riders emerged (Ellen van Dijk, Gracie Elvin, Chantal Blaak, Amy Pieters, Iris Slappendel, Megan Guarner and Melissa Hoskins). Slapendel (Rabobank Women Cycling Team) had to leave the group due to material damage. Sarah Düster was able to ride to the front group and so the Rabobank Women Cycling Team had another rider at the front. Due to good teamwork the seven riders were not pulled back by the bunch with among others the world champion Giorgia Bronzini. In the final kilometers Elvin and Düster tried both to escape but it was Van Dijk who reached first the finish line.[4][5]
