The differences were already made in the first lap. Halfway through the race, Lucinda Brand managed to create a gap with the first group, but Vos managed to close the gap soon after. After a neck-and-neck race, Vos came out on top. Brand and Denise Betsema completed an all-Dutch podium.

“I suffered terribly”, Vos said. “It went so fast. I had to push hard in every corner. Especially in the last lap, it was all or nothing. I know Lucinda pretty well and I knew she doesn’t leave much room. It was a battle to the finish. It was really nice to win here.”
