Riding an open and aggressive race, Team DSM were on the attack throughout the day at Binche Chimay Binche pour Dames but with the race all back together in the finale - they delivered their strong trademark lead out to set up Lorena Wiebes perfectly.
From the flag drop it was an aggressive day out with Pfeiffer Georgi in an initial move while behind the peloton split. Proceedings calmed down before a strong counter move went which featured Francesca Barale. It looked for a while as if they would fight it out for the win but the peloton made the catch just before the cobbled drag to the finish. Executing another superb lead out Franziska Koch handed over to Georgi who kept the pace high and splintered the group - setting up Wiebes who launched a vicious sprint in the closing two hundred metres to take a dominant win - Team DSM's Women's program's 28th of the season.
