Daria Pikulik (Human Powered Health) wons Konvert Koerse with a powerful kick in a reduced bunch sprint on Friday for her third victory of the season.

Julie De Wilde (Fenix-Deceuninck) outdistanced Valentine Fortin (Cofidis Women) at the line to round off the podium. A reduced front group of 11 more riders rolled across the line in Kortrijk to complete the 126.2km one-day race in 3:09:50.

“It was an amazing feeling to win again this season,” Pikulik said at the finish. “This year has been hard for me but I’m still there and I’m still trying so I’m grateful to the whole team for always believing in me.

“That was a perfect job and a really good day for us. The team put me in such a good position with a perfect lead-out so all I had to was just finish the job for them.”

In the bunch sprint behind, her teammates Marjolein van’t Geloof and Lily Williams sprinted to eighth and 14th, respectively, scoring crucial UCI points in the process.
