The Simac Ladies Tour concluded today in Arnhem with a thrilling finale.

Karlijn Swinkels put in an impressive performance, finishing just shy of the top ten on the day and securing 6th place in the General Classification.

A commendable effort from the entire team!

The sixth and final stage, spanning 145.8 kilometers, featured a start and finish in Arnhem and delivered excitement until the very last pedal stroke. Numerous breakaway attempts kept the race dynamic, with our riders showcasing their skills throughout.

In a dramatic conclusion, the final breakaway was thwarted just centimeters from the finish line, allowing world champion Lotte Kopecky to claim both the stage victory and the overall title, thanks to crucial bonus seconds.
