In a rare defeat this season, Demi Vollering (SD Worx) lost the uphill sprint to a powerful Silvia Persico (UAE Team ADQ) atop the final climb at Brabantse Pijl on Wednesday.
Vollering admitted that she was "not good enough to win" against Persico on the day but also said she simply ran out of energy after forgetting to take in enough food and fluids during the 141km race into Overijse.
