Festival Elsy Jacobs: Marta Bastianelli wins stage one as GC re-shapes

The second stage of the Festival Elsy Jacobs saw race leader Anna Henderson struggle, and pass on the lead of the race to Silvia Persico who ended the stage in the winning group alongside Demi Vollering who is on the same time as the Italian. The stage win was taken by UAE Team ADQ's Marta Bastianelli.

The Italian won the sprint in the final group of four riders who arrived with the same time at the finish in Steinfort at the end of the 121-kilometer stage. This was the fourth win for Bastianelli this season who has climbed to third place on the overall classification. Tomorrow's stage should once again see attacks and have the general classification decided.
