Quotes

Speaking seconds after the finish, a victorious Chantal van den Broek-Blaak said: “I’m surprised and extremely happy. This was not the plan but my win is due to team work. I had the instruction from the team to not ride at the front. I didn’t think I’d drop Elisa Longo Borghini in the final climb but I did. This is a very big day in my cycling career.”
