"It's never easy to win a bike race,” Blaak said after the last stage. "Today we worked well together as a team, which was great. We were always good, but you only know at the finish line sure if it works. I am very happy with this team effort."
Blaak has had a strong season this year with two WorldTour wins at Ronde van Drenthe and Gent-Wevelgem. She also won Le Samyn des Dames and a stage at Energiewacht Tour.
