Veronica Ewers (EF Education-TIBCO-SVB) took a solo win at the Navarra Women's Elite Classics in Pamplona. The American attacked her breakaway companions over the last classified climb of the day crossing the line alone ahead of runner-up Ane Santesteban and third-placed Kristen Faulkner (both BikeExchange-Jayco), and Mireia Benito (Massi-Tactic) in fourth. Jelena Erić (Movistar Team) took the bunch sprint for fifth.

Navarra Women's Elite Classics was a 124.8km race in Pamplona, Spain. It was another challenging day for the women's peloton after competing at the hilly Emakumeen Nafarroako won by Sarah Gigante (Movistar) on Tuesday.
