Team Sunweb's Lucinda Brand (NED) soloed to her second world cup win of the season at Namur, riding solo and powering through the muddy conditions to take the victory in style.
Brand said: "I'm super, super excited and happy that I could win this race, one of the toughest world cups of the season. I had a tough start where I hit my knee on a stone and afterwards I kept making mistakes. Luckily I managed to get myself out of it and focus on my strong points. On the difficult, technical sections I pushed on and then tried to recover a bit on the less tough parts. I'm really happy it all came together and I was able to take the win today."
