Mie Bjørndal Ottestad (Uno-X) parlayed a successful breakaway on the final stage of the Tour de Normandie into the overall victory, knocking overnight leader Ellen van Dijk (Lidl-Trek) down to third place.
Stage winner Josie Nelson (DSM-Firmenich-PostNl) won the stage ahead of Ava Holmgren (Lidl-Trek) but missed out on the overall victory by a single second as the Norwegian fought to third on the stage.
"All of the girls have worked so hard the past four days so I’m really happy I can finish it off for the team," she said.
Nelson won the best young rider's classification while Thalita De Jong (Lotto Dstny) won the points classification. Maeva Squiban (Arkea-B&B Hotels) secured the mountains jersey while DSM won best team.
