"A perfect day for the whole team", Fidanza said. "The girls worked hard all day and did everything they could to make it a bunch sprint. The lead-out was also great. In the last 500 meters, four of us were still in front. Nienke dropped me off at 150 meters and then all I had to do was finish it off. I'm super proud of everyone."

For Fidanza, it was her second victory in a week. Seven days ago, she crowned herself winner of Festival Elsy Jacobs in Luxembourg. "The race in Luxembourg was a totally different race than today. Today it was all nervousness in the peloton. Fortunately, we were well in front every time and kept the pace high. I think that was the best tactic."

Shortly behind Fidanza, Veenhoven sprinted to third place. The 21-year-old rider made her comeback in Trofee Maarten Wynants after suffering a collarbone fracture in Gent-Wevelgem. “It's super nice to come back this way,” Veenhoven said. "The plan was to sprint with Martina today and we executed that plan perfectly as a team. It was a super nice lead-out."

Veenhoven is happy that she was able to compete for prizes again in her first race. "I knew I would be good, but still it always takes some getting used to in such a peloton. Besides, it was a super hectic race. It was just not tough enough to thin out the peloton, so it remained a big peloton. All in all, it was a nice race to get into."
