Chantal van den Broek-Blaak (SD Worx-Protime) is the new Dutch women’s road race champion after she outlasted Yara Kastelijn (Fenix-Deceuninck) on the final lap in Arnhem.
The first key selection came with 30km or so remaining, when a group of 13 forged clear with all of the major teams represented. Van den Broek-Blaak sensed her opportunity, and she sparked what proved to be the winning move by attacking shortly before the bell.
