Lucinda Brand (Baloise Trek Lions) won the Lampiris Zilvermeercross on Saturday. The current World Cup leader crossed the line with a solo victory ahead of her Dutch compatriots Denise Betsema (Pauwels Sauzen-Bingoal), by four seconds, and Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma) by 29 seconds.

"It was a really tough race, there was little time to recover," Brand said in a post-race interview. "We were very evenly matched, the last stretch through the sand was decisive. Every victory is fun and I always want to win, but this is of course nice with a view to the World Cup. You can take that positive feeling with you."
