Nevertheless, the closing stage ended in the expected bunch sprint. Team Visma | Lease a Bike took the initiative and entered the final kilometer at the front. The lead-out delivered Veenhoven perfectly into position. In her sprint, she ultimately had to settle for second behind Wiebes.

“It’s a good result,” Veenhoven said with a smile. “As a team we did well today. We were exactly where we wanted to be in the final kilometer.
