Majerus wins Dwars door de Westhoek
Boels-Dolmans rider beats Cecchini and Johansson
Christine Majerus (Boels-Dolmans) took a hard-fought win at the Dwars door de Westhoek on Sunday in Belgium. The Luxembourg champion won the 127km race ahead of Elena Cecchini (Canyon-SRAM) and Emma Johansson (Wiggle High5). Former world champion Marianne Vos crashed in the finale but recovered to finish 16 seconds down in Majerus in ninth place.
"It came down to a sprint," said Majerus of the finish. "It was a dangerous finish on cobblestone. It's never easy to sprint on cobblestones. Marianne made a bit of a mistake in the sprint, and I was following her. Before she crashed, I could already see it coming. My bike was going from right to the left, and it was hard to stay in control. It was safer to move across the road.
"I feel sorry for Marianne that she crashed, but I cannot change it. I'm happy she's ok. Sometimes for winning you need to do no mistakes, and unfortunately for Vos, she made a mistake and I didn't. It's all part of the game."
