After a frustrating string of second place finishes at 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Strade Bianche, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:La Flèche Wallonne and the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour of Flanders, Van Vleuten finally took 🤪her biggest win of the season at Liège–Bastogne&ndas♐h;Liège.

"While no timeline has been set on Van Vleuten’s recovery, the doctors’ assessment on her fractures after surgery confirms a full recovery is to be expected," the release said. "Annemiek’s approach to th🍬e Grand Tours in July 𓃲(Giro d’Italia Donne + Tour de France Femmes) will not be compromised by the injury, either."
