Ilse Pluimers (Netherlands) claimed the win in the under-23 women's race at the UEC European Road Championships, powering away on the VAM-berg climb to take the gold over Anna Shackley (Great Britain) and Linda Zanetti (Switzerland).
The race saw a dangerous move with Britain's Zoë Backstedt go clear but she was marked by Maike van der Duin (Netherlands). The Dutch rider lost touch on the VAM-berg with two laps to go as the peloton was closing down the move.
