Charlotte Kool (dms-firmenich) took out the seventh win of the season in the Baloise Ladies Tour. The Dutch woman powered across the 2.6 kilometre prologue to clock the fastest time ahead of Lucinda Brand (Lidl-Trek).
Jenny Rissveds (Coop-Hitec Products) was third.
Kool’s time was only thousandths of a second faster than Brand, both clocking 3:06 on a blustery day. She’ll head into the first road stage with the race leader’s jersey on Thursday.
“It’s super nice, because I know this course like the back of my hand – I often come here on vacation,” Kool said. “It was really a goal to be there today. There are still very nice stages to come, but I want to defend that leader’s jersey to the end.”
