2021 Heusden Zolder Superprestige Results, Photos: Elite Women

After her victory in Dendermonde, all eyes were on Lucinda Brand. However, U23 World Champ Fem van Empel challenged Lucinda Brand for victory in Zolder.

Lucinda Brand did not have the strongest start. She got caught in traffic but soon made her way to the front. Fem van Empel led the group.

During the third lap, she saw the chance to take the lead. Van Empel however would not allow that.

She went on the attack and passed Brand.

Van Empel was giving Brand a fight as she tailed Brand all of lap four, five, and six. It was an impressive battle between Brand and Van Empel.

It looked like it would come down to a sprint but Van Empel was gassed and never threatened as the two hit the finish sprint.

Van Empel was not able to stop the champion and came in a close second.

The fun wasn’t over as there was another battle for a chance on the podium. Shirin van Anrooij and Annemarie Worst were duking it out for a chance on the podium. Worst narrowly won a spot on the podium.
