Charlotte Kool (Fenix-Premier Tech) won her third race of the year on Friday, this time at Veenendaal-Veenendaal Women on home roads. The Dutch rider jumped from the peloton in the final 500 metres to cruise across the finish line several bike lengths ahead of second-placed Kathrin Schweinberger (Human Powered Health) and Nienke Veenhoven (Visma-Lease a Bike).
Two solo attacks featured across the 134.3km race, the last by Helena Bieber (Carbonbike Giordana Sofré by Gen Z), who held the peloton at bay for nearly 20km. Visma-Lease a Bike were the main driver to shut down her effort in the final 3km to set up a bunch sprint.
