Start: Waregem
Categorie: 1.1 Pro

Team SD Worx opened Dwars door Vlaanderen by lightning up the race on the Kanarieberg with Marlen Reusser 65 kilometres from the end. After the Hotond, Reusser tried again and rode with Marianne Vos towards the head of the race. Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig, Francesca Barale and Victoire Berteau were eventually dropped by the duo on the Doorn cobbles. At 17 kilometres from the end, Reusser and Vos were caught. At ten kilometres from the end, Demi Vollering placed a well-aimed attack, after which she steamed solo towards Waregem. Good for the eighth win of the season for Team SD Worx.

"This team is so strong. I only had to control today. That way I could save myself. I felt very good and looked for the right moment to attack. It's nice to win so close to the Tour of Flanders. You always keep that feeling for a while. We are in the winning spirit with the team. With us, it doesn't matter who wins, as long as the team wins."

"That team atmosphere is the secret of Team SD Worx's success. The foundations were laid during our bike packing camp together with our sponsor Specialized in the United States. We know each other very well and go through fire for each other. We know that sooner or later we always get it back. With Team SD Worx, we can play the team game perfectly. We are therefore heading to the Tour of Flanders with a lot of confidence."

In her first race after an altitude training with Marlen Reusser in the Sierra Nevada, Demi Vollering was immediately successful, good for her second win of the season. "I have grown as a rider. Last year, I thought too much during races. I wanted to think one step ahead too often. Now I ride liberated. I understand the course tactically better and I race more in the moment. As a result, I have become stronger. In the Tour of Flanders we will again be able to play several cards."
