Nicole Steigenga (AG Insurance-Soudal) secured the victory at the EPZ Omloop van Borsele held in s-Heerenhoek on Saturday. It was her first professional victory since winning a stage at the former Dubai Tour in 2020.
Erin Boothman (Liv AlUla Jayco Women's Continental) crossed the line in second place ahead of Dina Scavone (Carbonbike Giordana Sofré by Gen Z) on the day.
Steigenga, who is on the top-tier team, was supported throughout the day by four riders from the AG Insurance-Soudal Development, including Anna Bruneel, Nina Lavenu, Billy Goossens and Amandine Muller.
“We stayed well-positioned at the front all day, and the Young Wolves helped me a lot. In the last 3km, Anna dropped me perfectly into another lead-out train, and from there I was able to sprint to the win," Steigenga said.
The 40th edition of the EPZ Omloop van Borsele Women returned to the racing calendar after a one-year hiatus with a combination of long and short circuits, totalling 133km in 's-Heerenhoek in the Netherlands.
