id=\"elk-02235fef-b6e3-4eb5-8bf4-3e01f288ef58\">24-year-old Visma-Lease a Bike racer Lieke Nooijen claimed the biggest victory of her career to date as she outpowered Femke Markus (SD Worx-Protime) in an excitingly unpredictable Dutch Nationals elite women&#8217;s road race.<\/p>\n<p>Third was Loes Adegeest (Lidl-Trek), with Nooijen&#8217;s Visma teammate Mischa Bredewold and Femke de Vries (SD Worx-Protime) just off the podium in fourth and fifth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know I am in good form, and to bring that out today\u2026 That is really wonderful,\u201d Nooijen told <em>Wielerflits<\/em> after the finish, before praising her team&#8217;s collective work.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-02235fef-b6e3-4eb5-8bf4-3e01f288ef58-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Femke de Vries and I were in a good attack a few times, Marianne Vos joined in, and Maud Oudeman rode a super strong race,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt one point, there were still five or six of us in the first group. That is really impressive, and in the end, I was the one who got away with Femke Markus . I am very happy that I was able to finish it off.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;jYDCcabO&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;X9\/mXVGac0NphghLH9hZaqWA5d3dhAM\/Ih07grnEyMLjuO2E&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnDesktop&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnMobile&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnTablet&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header>\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand inline-flex items-center\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/gmvwmhupgi1715762145.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] block h-[18px] w-auto shrink-0 brightness-0 invert\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"aspect-video w-full min-h-[200px] lg:min-h-[330px] relative overflow-hidden bg-black\" data-jwp-carousel-container>\n<div class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full items-center justify-center bg-white\" data-jwp-carousel-fallback><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/gmvwmhupgi1715762145.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] max-h-12 w-auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"min-h-[44px] bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting><a class=\"invisible block truncate text-sm font-bold leading-5 text-white underline decoration-solid underline-offset-2\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting-link href target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-jwp-carousel-signposting-title>Watch full video here: <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"how-it-unfolded-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">How it unfolded<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-b31fc0e1-d373-4f7e-aceb-a538647f837f\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The ultra-difficult Dutch course featured, just like in the remainder of the races, the two main climbs of Van Randwijckweg (1.2 km at 6.5%) and Oude Holleweg (1 km at 7%). Although Demi Vollering (FDJ United-SUEZ) was not present, other top names like Lorena Wiebes and Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime), not to mention all-time great Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike), all but ensured a very exciting race.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Perhaps given there was so much firepower in the race, for much of the opening part of the course, none of the multiple attacks managed to stick, with the big favourites content to watch and wait for an opportunity. Coming into the final 50 kilometres of a 117-kilometre course, the high pace and blizzard of little digs failing to succeed ensured that the peloton was far smaller than when it set out from Nijmegen midway through Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/eFFExUZaDXkE787pP8mBoK-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/eFFExUZaDXkE787pP8mBoK-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Daniek Hengeveld scorches final lap for her first elite women&#8217;s Dutch time trial national title<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/une4mJuvQRKJCfB3enzkSK-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/une4mJuvQRKJCfB3enzkSK-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Belgian National Championships: Shari Bossuyt outpowers Lotte Kopecky for emotional bunch sprint victory<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/e4GMxmTXwaKoJbWLzPh2K7-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/e4GMxmTXwaKoJbWLzPh2K7-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Dutch National Championships: Wilco Kelderman ends eleven-year victory drought with solo road race triumph<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The first important move to actually get enough of a margin to become a break came when De Vries, Adegeest and Nienke Vinke (SD Worx-Protime) opened up a small gap, with De Vries and Adegeest pushing on when Vinke began to struggle. Eventually, the leading duo were caught but that only sparked yet more efforts, notably by the very active de Vries.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The move that eventually gained real traction for Visma came courtesy of Nooijen, taking off with Markus to push open their advantage to around a minute. Nooijen attempted to shake off her closest rival on the Van Randwijckweg, to no avail, and the two non-sprinters were forced to fight it out for gold on the line.<\/p>\n<p>As <em>Wielerflits<\/em> reported, the sprint began when Markus opened up hostilities a full 800 metres from the line, only to be caught by Nooijen, who in turn launched a very early acceleration. That long-distance move proved just enough to contain Markus and allow Nooijen to go two better than her already promising bronze medal in Wednesday&#8217;s time trial &#8211; and clinch the win.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-nkAgRxGK5Lo7eBD5akxfFG\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-nkAgRxGK5Lo7eBD5akxfFG slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__header\">Get The Leadout Newsletter<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<footer class=\"newsletter-form__footer \">By submitting your information you agree to the Terms &amp; Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.<\/footer>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section kiosq-b\" id=\"section-results\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span>Results<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"elk-499bab17-742c-4048-b1b1-308e4c85dbb0\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><em><strong>Results powered by <\/strong><\/em><em><strong>FirstCycling<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-fd8bcf93-9a24-43ff-9a75-26545dfd20b8\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fZuWmvmRKSf6gd7KsETBTM-1170-80.png.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fZuWmvmRKSf6gd7KsETBTM-1024-80.png.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fZuWmvmRKSf6gd7KsETBTM-970-80.png.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fZuWmvmRKSf6gd7KsETBTM-650-80.png.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fZuWmvmRKSf6gd7KsETBTM-480-80.png.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fZuWmvmRKSf6gd7KsETBTM-320-80.png.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: FirstCycling)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"slice-container-authorBio-nkAgRxGK5Lo7eBD5akxfFG\" class=\"slice-container slice-author-bio authorBio-nkAgRxGK5Lo7eBD5akxfFG slice-container-authorBio\">\n<div class=\"author author__default-layout author--separator author--collapsible\" data-hydrate=\"true\">\n<div class=\"author__header\">\n<div class=\"author__avatar-block\">\n<figure class=\"image-wrapped__wrapper\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"false\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__widthsetter\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__aspect-padding\">\n<div><source class=\"author__avatar image-wrapped__image image__image\" type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/5QLhaPay9asJvmaNsCjFVZ-140-80.jpg.webp 140w\" sizes=\"99vw\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/5QLhaPay9asJvmaNsCjFVZ.jpg\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/5QLhaPay9asJvmaNsCjFVZ.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/5QLhaPay9asJvmaNsCjFVZ.jpg\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-slice-image=\"true\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__heading\">\n<div class=\"author__name\">Alasdair Fotheringham<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__social\">\n<nav class=\"button-social-group author__social-buttons\" aria-labelledby=\"button-social-group- author__social-buttons\">\n<div id=\"button-social-group- author__social-buttons\">Social Links Navigation<\/div>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__bio-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"author__biography\">\n<p>Alasdair Fotheringham has been reporting on cycling since 1991.

id=\"elk-02235fef-b6e3-4eb5-8bf4-3e01f288ef58\">24-year-old Visma-Lease a Bike racer Lieke Nooijen claimed the biggest victory of her career to date as she outpowered Femke Markus (SD Worx-Protime) in an excitingly unpredictable Dutch Nationals elite women&#8217;s road race.<\/p>\n<p>Third was Loes Adegeest (Lidl-Trek), with Nooijen&#8217;s Visma teammate Mischa Bredewold and Femke de Vries (SD Worx-Protime) just off the podium in fourth and fifth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know I am in good form, and to bring that out today\u2026 That is really wonderful,\u201d Nooijen told <em>Wielerflits<\/em> after the finish, before praising her team&#8217;s collective work.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-02235fef-b6e3-4eb5-8bf4-3e01f288ef58-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Femke de Vries and I were in a good attack a few times, Marianne Vos joined in, and Maud Oudeman rode a super strong race,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt one point, there were still five or six of us in the first group. That is really impressive, and in the end, I was the one who got away with Femke Markus . I am very happy that I was able to finish it off.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;jYDCcabO&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;X9\/mXVGac0NphghLH9hZaqWA5d3dhAM\/Ih07grnEyMLjuO2E&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnDesktop&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnMobile&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnTablet&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header>\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand inline-flex items-center\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/gmvwmhupgi1715762145.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] block h-[18px] w-auto shrink-0 brightness-0 invert\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"aspect-video w-full min-h-[200px] lg:min-h-[330px] relative overflow-hidden bg-black\" data-jwp-carousel-container>\n<div class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full items-center justify-center bg-white\" data-jwp-carousel-fallback><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/gmvwmhupgi1715762145.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] max-h-12 w-auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"min-h-[44px] bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting><a class=\"invisible block truncate text-sm font-bold leading-5 text-white underline decoration-solid underline-offset-2\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting-link href target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-jwp-carousel-signposting-title>Watch full video here: <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"how-it-unfolded-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">How it unfolded<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-b31fc0e1-d373-4f7e-aceb-a538647f837f\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The ultra-difficult Dutch course featured, just like in the remainder of the races, the two main climbs of Van Randwijckweg (1.2 km at 6.5%) and Oude Holleweg (1 km at 7%). Although Demi Vollering (FDJ United-SUEZ) was not present, other top names like Lorena Wiebes and Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime), not to mention all-time great Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike), all but ensured a very exciting race.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Perhaps given there was so much firepower in the race, for much of the opening part of the course, none of the multiple attacks managed to stick, with the big favourites content to watch and wait for an opportunity. Coming into the final 50 kilometres of a 117-kilometre course, the high pace and blizzard of little digs failing to succeed ensured that the peloton was far smaller than when it set out from Nijmegen midway through Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/eFFExUZaDXkE787pP8mBoK-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/eFFExUZaDXkE787pP8mBoK-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Daniek Hengeveld scorches final lap for her first elite women&#8217;s Dutch time trial national title<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/une4mJuvQRKJCfB3enzkSK-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/une4mJuvQRKJCfB3enzkSK-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Belgian National Championships: Shari Bossuyt outpowers Lotte Kopecky for emotional bunch sprint victory<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/e4GMxmTXwaKoJbWLzPh2K7-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/e4GMxmTXwaKoJbWLzPh2K7-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Dutch National Championships: Wilco Kelderman ends eleven-year victory drought with solo road race triumph<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The first important move to actually get enough of a margin to become a break came when De Vries, Adegeest and Nienke Vinke (SD Worx-Protime) opened up a small gap, with De Vries and Adegeest pushing on when Vinke began to struggle. Eventually, the leading duo were caught but that only sparked yet more efforts, notably by the very active de Vries.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The move that eventually gained real traction for Visma came courtesy of Nooijen, taking off with Markus to push open their advantage to around a minute. Nooijen attempted to shake off her closest rival on the Van Randwijckweg, to no avail, and the two non-sprinters were forced to fight it out for gold on the line.<\/p>\n<p>As <em>Wielerflits<\/em> reported, the sprint began when Markus opened up hostilities a full 800 metres from the line, only to be caught by Nooijen, who in turn launched a very early acceleration. That long-distance move proved just enough to contain Markus and allow Nooijen to go two better than her already promising bronze medal in Wednesday&#8217;s time trial &#8211; and clinch the win.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-nkAgRxGK5Lo7eBD5akxfFG\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-nkAgRxGK5Lo7eBD5akxfFG slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__header\">Get The Leadout Newsletter<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<footer class=\"newsletter-form__footer \">By submitting your information you agree to the Terms &amp; Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.<\/footer>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section kiosq-b\" id=\"section-results\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span>Results<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"elk-499bab17-742c-4048-b1b1-308e4c85dbb0\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><em><strong>Results powered by <\/strong><\/em><em><strong>FirstCycling<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-fd8bcf93-9a24-43ff-9a75-26545dfd20b8\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fZuWmvmRKSf6gd7KsETBTM-1170-80.png.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fZuWmvmRKSf6gd7KsETBTM-1024-80.png.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fZuWmvmRKSf6gd7KsETBTM-970-80.png.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fZuWmvmRKSf6gd7KsETBTM-650-80.png.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fZuWmvmRKSf6gd7KsETBTM-480-80.png.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fZuWmvmRKSf6gd7KsETBTM-320-80.png.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: FirstCycling)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"slice-container-authorBio-nkAgRxGK5Lo7eBD5akxfFG\" class=\"slice-container slice-author-bio authorBio-nkAgRxGK5Lo7eBD5akxfFG slice-container-authorBio\">\n<div class=\"author author__default-layout author--separator author--collapsible\" data-hydrate=\"true\">\n<div class=\"author__header\">\n<div class=\"author__avatar-block\">\n<figure class=\"image-wrapped__wrapper\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"false\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__widthsetter\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapped__aspect-padding\">\n<div><source class=\"author__avatar image-wrapped__image image__image\" type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/5QLhaPay9asJvmaNsCjFVZ-140-80.jpg.webp 140w\" sizes=\"99vw\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/5QLhaPay9asJvmaNsCjFVZ.jpg\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/5QLhaPay9asJvmaNsCjFVZ.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/5QLhaPay9asJvmaNsCjFVZ.jpg\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-slice-image=\"true\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__heading\">\n<div class=\"author__name\">Alasdair Fotheringham<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__social\">\n<nav class=\"button-social-group author__social-buttons\" aria-labelledby=\"button-social-group- author__social-buttons\">\n<div id=\"button-social-group- author__social-buttons\">Social Links Navigation<\/div>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__bio-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"author__biography\">\n<p>Alasdair Fotheringham has been reporting on cycling since 1991.

Although Demi Vollering (FDJ United-SUEZ) was not present, other top names like Lorena Wiebes and Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime), not to mention all-time great Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike), all but ensured a very exciting race.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Perhaps given there was so much firepower in the race, for much of the opening part of the course, none of the multiple attacks managed to stick, with the big favourites content to watch and wait for an opportunity. Coming into the final 50 kilometres of a 117-kilometre course, the high pace and blizzard of little digs failing to succeed ensured that the peloton was far smaller than when it set out from Nijmegen midway through Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase sm:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/eFFExUZaDXkE787pP8mBoK-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/eFFExUZaDXkE787pP8mBoK-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Daniek Hengeveld scorches final lap for her first elite women&#8217;s Dutch time trial national title<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/une4mJuvQRKJCfB3enzkSK-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/une4mJuvQRKJCfB3enzkSK-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Belgian National Championships: Shari Bossuyt outpowers Lotte Kopecky for emotional bunch sprint victory<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/e4GMxmTXwaKoJbWLzPh2K7-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/e4GMxmTXwaKoJbWLzPh2K7-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Dutch National Championships: Wilco Kelderman ends eleven-year victory drought with solo road race triumph<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The first important move to actually get enough of a margin to become a break came when De Vries, Adegeest and Nienke Vinke (SD Worx-Protime) opened up a small gap, with De Vries and Adegeest pushing on when Vinke began to struggle. Eventually, the leading duo were caught but that only sparked yet more efforts, notably by the very active de Vries.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The move that eventually gained real traction for Visma came courtesy of Nooijen, taking off with Markus to push open their advantage to around a minute. Nooijen attempted to shake off her closest rival on the Van Randwijckweg, to no avail, and the two non-sprinters were forced to fight it out for gold on the line.<\/p>\n<p>As <em>Wielerflits<\/em> reported, the sprint began when Markus opened up hostilities a full 800 metres from the line, only to be caught by Nooijen, who in turn launched a very early acceleration. That long-distance move proved just enough to contain Markus and allow Nooijen to go two better than her already promising bronze medal in Wednesday&#8217;s time trial &#8211; and clinch the win.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-nkAgRxGK5Lo7eBD5akxfFG\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-nkAgRxGK5Lo7eBD5akxfFG slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__header\">Get The Leadout Newsletter<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox!<\/p>\n<footer class=\"newsletter-form__footer \">By submitting your information you agree to the Terms &amp; Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.<\/footer>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section kiosq-b\" id=\"section-results\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span>Results<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"elk-499bab17-742c-4048-b1b1-308e4c85dbb0\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><em><strong>Results powered by <\/strong><\/em><em><strong>FirstCycling<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-fd8bcf93-9a24-43ff-9a75-26545dfd20b8\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fZuWmvmRKSf6gd7KsETBTM-1170-80.png.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fZuWmvmRKSf6gd7KsETBTM-1024-80.png.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fZuWmvmRKSf6gd7KsETBTM-970-80.png.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fZuWmvmRKSf6gd7KsETBTM-650-80.png.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fZuWmvmRKSf6gd7KsETBTM-480-80.png.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/fZuWmvmRKSf6gd7KsETBTM-320-80.png.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: FirstCycling)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/pro-cycling\/womens-cycling\/dutch-national-championships-lieke-nooijen-wins-two-up-sprint-victory-over-femke-markus\/&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/NyyrKyLZHQ4JehK2zWEBGj-1024-80.jpg&#8221;] 1 Dutch National Championships: Wilco Kelderman ends eleven-year victory drought with solo road race triumph 2 French National Championships: new super talent C\u00e9lia Gery conquers first road race title with devastating solo attack 3 Lotte Claes unseats Lotte Kopecky as the new elite women&#8217;s time trial title at the Belgian Road National [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,68],"class_list":["post-2016189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-cyclingnews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2016189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2016189"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2016189\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2016189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2016189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2016189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
