Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx) returned to road racing with a victory at the one-day Veenendaal-Veenendaal Classic. Kopecky won the sprint ahead of Martina Fidanza (Ceratizit-WNT Pro Cycling) and Daria Pikulik (Human Powered Health).

"On the penultimate lap, we tried to take advantage of the wind, but it just didn't blow hard enough to create echelons. Actually, we knew in advance that it would end in a bunch sprint," Kopecky said.
