Usoa Ostolaza (Laboral Kutxa-Fundación Euskadi) secured a solo victory on stage 2 at the Tour Féminin des Pyrénées atop the famed Col d'Aubisque.
The Spanish rider finished 26 seconds ahead of runner-up Valentina Cavallar (Arkéa - B&B Hotels Women) and 58 seconds ahead of her Laboral Kutxa-Fundación Euskadi teammate Yurani Blanco.
The queen stage 2 was a shorter 96km that started in Pierrefitte-Nestalas but finished at the top of the 16km Col d'Aubisque.
"It is a very special victory. We are very happy with the race we have done and for getting the victory in a mountain pass as important as the Aubisque. We knew that the team could do a good job and that we had the potential to compete for the victory, and that's how it happened," Ostolaza said.
"My teammates did a great job up to the foot of the Aubisque to keep the race under control. Once we started the pass, each one went to her place. Yurani [Blanco] and I have gone from less to more, measuring the pace, and in the end, I was able to win and Yurani has achieved third place. Tomorrow, we will fight for the overall classification and to win the stage."
