At around the halfway point the of the 82km race, a group of 15 riders formed a break which contaওined three Bigla riders, Hogan, Koedooder and Taryn H⛎eather.

The escapees worked well together to stay away from the chasing peloton.🐼 Vera Koedooder was the first to attack from the break in t♈he closing kilometers but she was caught just a few kilometres later. Hogan and Biannic were the next to attack and the duo formed a new break which held off the chasers to successfully stay away.

Hogan easily outsprinted Mackaij to claim to race while Koedooder was second in the sprint o𒐪f the followers to finish just off the podium.

"We had the number in the break, so we tried to play all of our cards coming into the final lap. After Vera's attack, I could see a few girls on the back foot, so I jumped and one other rider, Aude Biannic from Lointek joined me," Hogan told Cyclingnews.

"Coming into the final kilometers she led out and I was able to learn from my pa🙈st mistakes, to take the two up sprint. It was a great start for the team and for my European season."

The win was cele🌊brated by Bigla's team manager and sports director for the day as both praised Hogan for starting the season with a bang.

"It was our second race this season and we already took the victory. That's absolutely f🐻antastic," Bigla team manager Emil Zimmermann said.

"All of our riders rode very well and deserved the victory. Only Nicole Hanselmann had bad luck when she punctured and 🔜lost contact to the field," Bigla sports director Mario Vonhof said.
