Defending Ronde Van Vlaanderen champion, Annemiek Van Vleutin (Movistar) was in a tough position coming to the five kilometer banner with two women from Team SD Worx. On the back of the threesome was the leader of the team (the one with the one at the end of her bib number), Lotte Kopecky. The Belgium champion had the advantage of having her teammate, a former winner of this race herself, Chantal Van Der Broek-Blaak, on the front driving the pace all of the way to the finale. Less anyone forget, here is a perfect example of cycling being a team sport, not just the racing of an individual.
