Team DSM took full advantage of what turned out to be a windy edition of Dwars door de Westhoek, taking over the podium after Pfeiffer Georgi, Léa Curinier and Charlotte Kool broke clear.

“It was a really windy race today and we went in with a plan to split it halfway through,” said Georgi in a team statement. “The whole team fully committed and we managed to make the group smaller. A lap later we tried again into the wind.

"Me, Charlotte and Léa ended up going away together for around the last 50 kilometres, so it was a pretty painful last hour. It was full commitment to the line and we managed to pull off a one-two-three, so it was a pretty special race for us.”
