World Champion and Beobank-Corendon rider, Sanne Cant won a stoic edition of the Superprestige Ladies event in Diegem. This marks her first victory of the season in the series events.
Everyone witnessed a very tight competition leaving Canyon-SRAM’s girl, Pauline Ferrand-Prevot taking second place finishing 21 seconds later while Crelan-Charles’ girl, Maud Kaptheijns taking third at 35 seconds.
During the second half of the race, we saw the leading trio riding together through the last laps. Even though Kaptheijns would occasionally get a gap on the world champion, she on the other hand wouldn’t let the Dutchwoman pass her for too long quickly getting her skills together to surpass the fighting rider.
Cant was only able to make her final, winning move, during the course’s solo sandpit, after a little less than 30 minutes of racing.
Cycling.be-Alpha Motorhomes’ rider, American Elle Anderson sprinted as she took the sixth place, a position she justified with the strong, fourth-place finish in Bredene the previous day.
