Our team also had reason to celebrate thanks to the exceptional performance of \u00c9vita Muzic, who finished a remarkable fourth. The young Frenchwoman brilliantly overcame the challenges of the course, keeping in touch with the leaders and particularly distinguishing herself in the crucial final kilometres of the race.<\/p>\n\n
The action began in the early kilometres with a breakaway including Sara Mart\u00edn (Movistar), Julie Van de Velde (AG Insurance-Soudal Team) and Elena Hartmann (Roland). This group managed to open up a gap of up to four minutes and forty-five seconds. Efforts to close the gap began on the Ereffe climb, led by riders such as Grace Brown and Pauliena Rooijakkers (Fenix-Deceuninck).<\/p>\n\n
The highlight of the race was the repeated attacks on the second section of the Ereffe climb and on the final ascent of the Mur de Huy. It was here that \u00c9vita Muzic really shone, keeping pace with the best and asserting her place among the world’s elite female climbers.<\/p>\n\n
Katarzyna Niewiadoma won the race, closely followed by Demi Vollering (SD Worx Protime) and Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek) who completed the podium. <\/p>\n\n
