One-two for Wiggle High5 at La Madrid Challenge by La Vuelta
Having won La Course by Le Tour de France with Chloe Hosking, Wiggle High5 went one better in the La Madrid Challenge by La Vuelta with Jolien D'hoore blasting to the victory. Hosking made it a one-two as she held on for second with Marta Bastianelli (Alé-Cipollini) in third.
"It was quite a fast and nervous race, like a crit should be!", D;hoore said. "It wasn't totally flat, it was a but up and down, and that made it hard in the end. We decided that I should do the sprint, and that Chloe would lead me out, and that's what we did.

"But I lost Chloe's wheel just before the last corner, with 400 to go or something, and then I tried to steak in on the inside of the corner; there was a gap on the right side so I just started my sprint."
The win was D'hoore's first since winning the bronze medal in the omnium at the Rio Olympic Games and was a confidence boost ahead of the world championships next month on Doha as she explained.
"It was already a lot better than last week, and I still have four weeks to go until Qatar, so that should be perfect," D'hoore said in reference to the Boels Rental Ladies Tour.
