Marianne Vos won the UCI C2 Parkcross in Maldegem on Wednesday. She defended her win from last year with an attack that saw her solo the last half of the elite women’s race. It was her first win of the 2017-18 UCI cyclo-cross season.
Vos took the win by a 30-second margin ahead of compatriot Annemarie Worst. Belgium's Laura Verdonschot was third.
Vos later spoke of her victory on her Instagram account saying, "It's most important to enjoy what you do. Nice day out at Maldegem. Thanks to my team, support crew and all of you for the lovely messages."
