Sprinter Lorena Wiebes took victory in Omloop van het Hageland to cap off a fine opening weekend of the women's elite season for the Dutch.

The 20-year-old was effectively unchallenged when she raced to the line from a select group of riders as she had time to celebrate one of the biggest wins of her career to date.

Italy's Marta Bastianelli finished second while Norway's Emma Cecilie Norsgaard rounded off the top three.

After her victory, Wiebes said: "It was an exciting race. It always feels good to win, but even more so after sprinting against these riders. 

Good thing the team worked hard and I knew which wheel to go for."

Fellow Dutch rider Annemiek van Vleuten took victory in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad on Saturday, giving the Dutch the perfect start to the 2020 season.
