Mischa Bredewold (SD Worx-Protime) powered to victory on the stage 5 individual time trial of the Lotto Thüringen Tour, besting Brodie Chapman (Lidl-Trek) by 11 seconds with Christina Schweinberger (Fenix-Deceuninck) third at 22 seconds.
"I have been working on this discipline for years. This win is a reward for the efforts I made together with my trainer and team to get better," Bredewold said. "A time trial in the elite is completely different than in the juniors. So I'm super happy to take my first time trial victory here in the Lotto Thüringen Ladies Tour."
