I'm very happy how the race went. The Movistar team was very aggressive. I have to thank my teammates who did a great job in the breakaways and in positioning me for the final sprint. We were just a small group at the end of the race and Biriukova was with me. She did an excellent job and worked for me, which allowed me to win the sprint and the race, underlines Olivia Baril in a press release issued by her team.
Olivia Baril covered the 112 kilometers of the one-day event in 2 hours 50 minutes 32 seconds. This is a repeat offense for her who won this race last year.
