Mischa Bredewold reigns supreme in GP Plouay and succeeds herself as winner

"I finish my year in the European jersey fantastic"

24/08/2024

Mischa Bredewold impressively won the GP Plouay for the second year in a row. The European champion was attentive at the front all day. On the final slope of the day, Liane Lippert accelerated. Mischa Bredewold and Chloe Dygert were the only two still able to cross to the German together. Bredewold then sprinted supremely to her second consecutive win in the French classic. "This was my last race in the European jersey. It's incredible that I managed to win it."

Mischa Bredewold: "When Amber Kraak was caught up, I was already expecting Liane Lippert's attack. I had a hunch when Movistar came to the front to set pace. I was convinced that Liane would accelerate. The team also told me to focus on her, which I then did. I was nervous for the last hill though, because I know what kind of acceleration she has in her. I was very happy that with Chloe Dygert I had the perfect companion with me to cover the gap. Because I was not sure if I would manage to close the gap alone. But we formed a strong duo. In the last kilometre, it was gambling. I know the finish from last year and know how best to sprint here. I pushed the other riders to be in front and was perfectly launched that way."

"I have a special bond with GP Plouay. Last year I recorded my first big classic win here. This season it was my last race in the European champion's jersey. This was such an incredible year. It was special to ride in this jersey. Lorena Wiebes had also sent me a message yesterday that she wanted me to win today. For me to do it then too, that's incredible. This means a lot to me. Also for the team that was behind me. My teammates gave me wings. There is simply no better way to end this special year. I rode around all day with a lot of emotions. I will come back here next year anyway to defend this win again. But first I want to enjoy this for a while."
