With some of the top stars skipping the trip to France, it was a youth movement in the women’s race at the UCI World Cup Flamanville today.
U23 stars Fem Van Empel and Puck Pieterse were locked in a battle for first.
The two traded attacks but nothing stuck, and ended up sprinting for the World Cup win, with Kata Blanka Vas not far behind.
