Manon Bakker wins muddy Niel race as Lucinda Brand abandons

Bakker built a solo victory on a course made difficult by mud. Cyclingnews reports that she broke away on the second of five laps and retained a fourteen-second advantage over Italy’s Casasola at the finish.

Wielerflits also reports her win and describes heavy, slippery conditions. The early withdrawal of world champion and favourite Brand marked the opening of the race; the sources consulted do not establish a medical diagnosis following her crash.

The victory is the result of the women’s event in Niel. It does not by itself constitute an overall Superprestige series title.

According to Cyclingnews, the winner also takes the overall lead on 39 points, ahead of Wyseure on 38 and Vanthourenhout on 37. The men’s result complements Manon Bakker’s women’s victory, already documented in this dossier.
