On a course more suited to road racers than cyclocross specialists, the Women's Elite World Cup race was decided by a sprint between world champion Fem Van Empel, Cup leader Lucinda Brand, Marie Schreiber, and the eternal Marianne Vos. An exciting finale that rewarded the fast skills of world champion Van Empel, winner in Benidorm ahead of Brand and Luxembourg's Schreiber, with Vos in fourth and our Sara Casasola, back to excellent levels, in seventh position. Not a bad performance by the new Italian champion Carlotta Borello, who ends up taking the fifteenth spot.
