Lorena Wiebes: ‘Today went perfectly. The situation was ideal. A small group had gotten to the front with Christine Majerus in it. Behind, my teammates were in control. In the run-up to the sprint they positioned me perfectly. I decided to start the sprint early. I saw a gap and went. These sprint victories are a confidence boost ahead of the Olympics in Paris. I hope to continue this form."

"I do think this overall victory is special to add to my palmares. I don't have many classification victories yet, so this one is special. The focus goes straight to Paris. I now go to my home in Limburg, where I will do the final training sessions towards the Olympics."
