A breakaway emerged after the first sprint in Miota with Sheyla Gutiérrez (Movistar) and Isabel Martin (Rio Miera- Cantabria Deporte), Naia Amondarain (Sopela Women’s Team). Amondarian lost contact with the move, as the two leaders pushed their lead out to 2:40 just over 40m into the race.

Gutierrez attacked Martin in the final 30km, but a new she was caught as a new group of leaders emerged over the succession of ascents to include Soraya Paladin and Rooijakkers, and Ewers.

With three riders joining Rooijakkers in the top 10 – Soraya Paladin sixth, Elise Chabbey seventh, and Neve Bradbury eighth – Canyon-SRAM Racing won the team’s classification.
