A spectacular comeback, an extraordinary performance by Elisa Longo Borghini who dominated the Brabant Arrow Ladies. The Italian champion - returning to racing today after her crash at the Tour of Flanders and subsequent concussion recovery - was a protagonist in all the critical phases of the race and launched her winning attack 10 km from the finish, on the cobbled wall of S-Bocht Overijse. No rival could stay on her wheel, and the Piedmontese rider managed her advantage all the way to the finish line, repelling her opponents' attempts to catch her.

For Longo Borghini, this is her second victory in the Brabant Arrow and a decidedly convincing performance ahead of the Ardennes Classics. Behind her, the Dutch riders Marianne Vos (Team Visma | Lease a Bike) and Femke Gerritse (Team SD Worx-Protime), with Eleonora Camilla Gasparrini embracing and celebrating her team leader immediately after the finish line. A good performance also from Monica Trinca Colonel (Liv AlUla Jayco) who, after being active in the attack, finished in eleventh position.
