Martina Fidanza secured her first victory in the colours of Visma-Lease a Bike, winning out of a bunch sprint at Festival Elsy Jacobs à Luxembourg on Sunday.
The Italian sprinter was fastest to the line ahead of runner-up Valentine Fortin (Cofidis) and third-placed Barbara Guarischi (SD Worx-Protime) in Cessange.
It was the second of two one-day races this weekend at the Festival Elsy Jacobs à Luxembourg, which offered the peloton a 121.6km race in Cessange.
The peloton tackled seven laps of a circuit, including a short but steep 200m climb through the finish line at Rue Tubis.
A breakaway formed that included the previous day’s winner Marta Lach and teammate Steffi Häberlin (SD Worx-Protime), Lonneke Uneken and teammate Margot Vanpachtenbeke (VolkerWessels), Sarah Van Dam (Ceratizit Pro Cycling), Noä Jansen (Liv AlUla Jayco), Ilse Pluimers (AG Insurance-Soudal), Eva van Agt and teammates Rosita Reijnhout and Linda Riedmann (Visma-Lease a Bike), Valentine Fortin (Cofidis) with a small gap at 35km to go.
Despite their efforts, the reduced field of 25 riders was back together on the last loop for teams to set up for the final sprint, with Visma-Lease a Bike and Fidanza claiming the victory.
