"I really looked forward to this day, I actually wasn’t too nervous about it," van Vleuten said. "It was my own time trial today and I wanted to test myself and not think about what the other competitors did.
"My goal was to go as hard as possible, maximum to the finish line. Of course it's very nice that I'm able to win in a long time trial also and to take more time in the overall."
Van Vleuten is now focused on taking out the overall victory after three more stages.
