Video: Highlights from the women’s Tour of Flanders World Cup
Watch the key moments of the 144.9km race
The women's Tour of Flanders held on Sunday in Belgium marked the third round of the World Cup series. The 158-rider women's field lined up in Oudenaarde for the 144.9km race, which covered a total of 10 climbs and five sectors of cobbles. The stellar field included previous World Cup leader Lizzie Armitstead (Boels-Dolmans), world champion Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (Rabo-Liv) and Belgian champion Jolien D'hoore (Wiggle Honda),
It was Elisa Longo-Borghini (Wiggle Honda) who stole the show, however, with a solo win. She broke away with 35km to go and took the victory by nearly a minute over her teammate and runner-up D’hoore, while Anna Van Der Breggen (Rabo-Liv) was third. D'hoore's podium performance put her back into the lead of the World Cup standings.
