It was SD Worx and Demi Vollering who took a deserved victory at Brabantse Pijl on Wednesday, the Dutchwoman soloing to victory from 10km out to grab her first win of the year.

However, Canyon-SRAM also made the race, with Pauliena Rooijakkers instigating the move which saw Vollering take to the head of the race before she eventually jumped away to the win.
