Emma Johansson sprints to victory

Dottignies, Belgium, 128.07 km, UCI 1.2

 

Race Writeup

Emma Johansson (HITEC) sprinted to victory ahead of the Italian Road Champion, Monia Baccaille (SC MCipollini Giordana) and Annemiek van Vleuten (Nederland Bloiet). 

After a tough day of racing in the Ronde van Vlaanderen yesterday, the majority of the peloton made the drive south west to the Lotto Cycling Cup in Dottignies. The only team missing of the key contenders, was HTC Highroad. 

Conditions at the start of the race were relatively warm for early spring and 191 riders took to the start line. Conditions changed during the race and temperatures dropped in the late afternoon.. 

The course was an 80km loop around the Belgian countryside and four laps of a 12km circuit that passed through the centre of Dottignies. 

With four sprints and four mountain climbs, the bunch were active throughout the race. At the end of the 80km loop, the majority of the peloton were together. A few minor crashes had split the bunch into three. One crash was caused by a passionate Belgian fan. He dashed into the road to pick up a dropped bottle. Trying to avoid him, a few riders picked what they thought was a good route only to be confronted by the man exiting from the road. Australian Rowena Fry one of the casualties. 

Elena Berlato (Top Girls Fassa Bortolo) tried to attack at the start of the small loops. She only managed a small gap before the peloton, led by Nederland Bloiet, Hitec, Lotto Honda and Garmin Cervelo pulled her back. Johansson was active at the front of the race and ensured that she was able to compete in all of the mountain climbs. 

Marta Bastianelli ((SC MCipollini Giordana) and Sharon Laws (Garmin Cervelo) tried to attack over the last climb. A small group of riders formed that also including Grace Verbeke (Topsport Vlaanderen 2012 - Ridley Team) and Sara Mustonen (HITEC). Again they could not get away. 

In the end a leading bunch of 67 riders arrived with 3km to go. The sprint wound up with 150m and it was Johansson who managed to get clear.  

Sara Mustonen (HITEC) was awarded the most active for winning all four sprints and contributing to the activity in the peloton. Grace Verbeke was awarded the best placed Belgian. 

 Winner of the Ronde van Vlaanderen, van Vleuten who decided to start finished a strong third.
