The 130-kilometer long race saw a hilly circuit around the town in which the name gets it's name, but everything came back together in the end for a reduced bunch sprint in which the Dutch was the woman to beat. Sure enough she fulfilled her responsibility to take the win, with quite a hefty advantage in the sprint ahead of Italian duo Chiara Consonni (Valcar - Travel & Service) and Maria Giulia Confalonieri (Ceratizit-WNT Pro Cycling) who completed the podium.
