Overview
- Demi Vollering attacked Sunday on the Côte de la Redoute with 34 km left and rode solo to win by 1 minute 28 seconds.
- Puck Pieterse finished second in the chase sprint ahead of Kasia Niewiadoma and Anna van der Breggen.
- The win followed her Flèche Wallonne triumph on Wednesday, giving her two victories in the Ardennes week.
- Pauline Ferrand-Prévot lost contact on the Redoute move and placed 22nd about five minutes behind.
- La Redoute often decides this race because its steep slopes split the field, and this year’s outcome now guides form goals with Ferrand-Prévot set to race the Vuelta from May 3–9.
