Kirsten Wild (NED) finished in second again today in the final stage of the Holland Ladies Tour, but it wasn’t quite good enough to win overall GC. Marianne Vos (NED-Nederland Bloeit), won the stage as well as the sprint bonus points today putting her 3 seconds ahead of Wild, giving Vos the overall GC victory. Shelley Evans Olds (USA) took third in the final stage today.

“Kirsten lost by three seconds today to Vos who swept the sprint bonus’ as well as the day’s stage,” said Jean Paul Van Poppel, Sports Director. “There was a breakaway of 12 riders that included Emilie Aubry (SUI). They had a maximum one minute gap but were finally brought back with 30 km to go by Nederland Bloeit. The team worked really well today and throughout the race. Kirsten did win the point GC, we won the team GC, two stages and finished with three riders in the top ten. So not a bad race, but unfortunately we missed the win.”
