Report
Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado (Corendon-Circus) put in a flawless performance to win the Superprestige in Ruddervoorde on Sunday.
The Domincan-born Dutchwoman surged on the opening lap and never looked back to claim the victory over world champion Sanne Cant.
Katie Compton worked her way through the field after a slow start to take the final podium spot ahead of compatriot Katie Keough.
Alvarado, after her fourth victory of the season, took the lead in the Superprestige standings. "I had a good start and felt pretty good. I heard that something had fallen behind me and I just kept going full," she said. "I am happy to be in the lead again. This is a great ranking and I now lead by a few points. That is a nice feeling."
She revealed that she would race with the U23 women at the upcoming European Championships.
"I won't start with the elite women, but with the U23s. This is my last chance and I want to take it again. I just have to go for it."
