France's Amandine Fouquenet (Pauwels Sauzen-Altez Industriebouw) took victory in Middelkerke to win the final round of the Telenet Superprestige series, narrowly missing out on the overall as Aniek van Alphen (Seven Racing) held on to take the title.

Despite a strong fightback, Fouquenet held off a chase from Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado (Fenix-Premier Tech) to take the win, her fourth of what has been a breakthrough season.
