The race was won by British rider Pfeiffer Georgi of Team DSM after a solo attack with around 7 kilometres to go.

Sprinters including defending champion Elisa Balsamo, Lorena Wiebes, Chiara Consonni and Charlotte Kool were thought to be contenders for the win.

On the final pass through De Moeren, Georgi and Jastrab split the front group, leaving just six riders.

Sprinters in the chase group did not wish to waste energy in light of the final sprint, so Georgi's gap quickly grew.
