Fighting for victory with
Charlotte Kool, Vos proved far too powerful for her rival, winning clearly by a full bike length in the end. For the second stage running though, the peloton was rocked relatively late on by a disruptive crash in the bunch.
“Especially in the beginning with the wet roads. It was very slippery and slippery and we saw many falls. Then you hope that everyone will get through it okay,” Vos recalls. “But I didn't see what happened. We were trying to put ourselves in a good position. They say it's part of the race, falling, but it's never fun to see."
