Team Jumbo-Visma (Belgium) - Press Release: Marianne Vos has written the tenth edition of Gent-Wevelgem to her name. The Dutch rider sprinted to first place and gave the Team Jumbo-Visma women’s team its first ever victory.
Before the start of the 141 kilometre race it was already clear that the wind would play a major role. Throughout the day several riders tried to break open the peloton, but without success. Only on the second climb of the Kemmelberg the race really broke loose.
With about thirty kilometres to go Anna Henderson went on the attack. She took a lead of more than twenty seconds on the peloton. Eventually she was caught by the chasing group.
In the final Borghini and Paladin escaped from the peloton. It was only in the final kilometre that the Italian duo was caught by the chasing group. Vos then set up the sprint and crossed the line first after an explosive final sprint.
