Kirsten Faulkner earned her first win in the pink colours of EF Education-Cannondale in Belgium on Sunday with a solo victory at Craywinckelhof-Omloop van het Hageland. She accelerated from a front group of riders and rode away in time trial mode for the final 50km to win by nearly a three-minute margin.
“I didn’t want to go solo. I attacked, and no one came with me. I took a risk, and it worked,” she said afterwards.
