After winning the prologue and the stage 1 sprint, Charlotte Kool (Team dsm-firmenich) secured a hat trick of wins on stage 2 in Zulte, out-sprinting runner-up Anna Henderson (Jumbo-Visma) and Emma Norsgaard (Movistar) for her third win in a row at the Baloise Ladies Tour.

"Today was hard to control. The other teams never made it easy for us but the girls were outstanding. Especially Nienke [Vinke], who had ten lives today and what she did together with the other girls in the final is really impressive," Kool said of the finish.
