Compton led for most of the race, but Vos was always close. However, when Vos to reverse course after missing the entrance to the pit, Compton was gone.
Behind them, Elle Anderson wowed the crowds with a sixth place finish, her second best since she’s been here (after a third at Diegem), and fellow American Courtenay McFadden took 11th.
