Manon Bakker emerged as the queen of the snow in Val di Sole. The Crelan-Corendon rider stormed through the 7th World Cup round and took a surprising victory, overtaking and beating
Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado in the final lap.
The race began and in a matter of second riders found problems, with both Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado and
Puck Pieterse - the main favourites - tumbling in a corner. Early minutes of the race were chaotic for the riders but as soon as gaps began to form riders found their space. Kristyna Zemanová was the first rider to dig deep in the snow getting a gap, but was joined by Alvarado soon after.
