“His adjusted training and running program for the coming months will be based on his recovery. At the moment, there is no reason to question his participation in the world championships and in Paris-Roubaix.

The young Dutchwoman led the group in the last left turn and had enough room to hold Susanne Andersen in charge, Pfeiffer Georgi taking third place.

“It was our plan to attack 5 km from the finish, which is why we were ahead with so many of us. Suddenly there was a crash, it happened in a split second. Glad to be able to finish it. Hope everyone is doing well, â€Unneken said.

Race leader Marlen Reusser was caught in the crash just over three miles from the finish and suffered cuts to her knees. Lorena Wiebes (Team DSM) appeared to be the first rider to fall when she lost her balance when her wheels passed a small ledge on the side of the road.

Reusser was able to finish in the second road group, which crossed the line 29 seconds behind the Uneken group. The large overall margin she built up with her strong TT race on Thursday was enough to keep Reusser ahead of the race for another day.
