Wiebes, who already had fifteen victories in his pocket this year, had to come from far in the last hundreds of meters, but had enough strength in his legs to pass Marianne Vos. “It was a chaotic, long sprint. I was counting on Marianne to start the sprint early. It was ‘close’, but luckily I was able to accelerate again and hold it until the finish.”
