As predicted, a bunch sprint decided the Jabbeke / Knokke-Heist, the first stage of the Baloise Ladies Tour. The victory went to Charlotte Kool, 26-year-old from Team Picnic PostNL, who, guided by Franziska Koch and Rachele Barbieri, beat Chiara Consonni from Canyon Sram, securing her first seasonal success. In third place was Nienke Veenhoven, a 21-year-old Dutch rider from Visma Lease a Bike, who put her bicycle's wheels in front of those of Barbara Guarischi and Rachele Barbieri.
