The Australian and the Pole took the lead at the top of Vaugondry, 13 km from the finish, after a 105 km breakaway, and did not let anyone come back. Two riders started against, the Dutch Femke de Vries (Visam – Lease a Bike) and the Australian Amanda Spratt (Lidl-Trek), but the lead was too great and the duo crossed the line with 1’55’ ‘ behind the first two.
