Linda Riedmann (Lotto-Intermarché) scored victory at Binche-Chimay-Binche pour Dames, securing her first-ever victory in a race at .1 level or above.
The 23-year-old won the German Championships last year and this season took victory at .2 races, the Volta a Portugal Feminina and Muurclassic Geraardsbergen, but this is the biggest triumph of her five-year racing career.
Riedmann beat established sprinter Charlotte Kool (Fenix-Premier Tech) to the finish line in the uphill sprint, while Nicole Steigenga (AG Insurance-Soudal) rounded out the podium in third place.
