De Zoete freelances to Tour of Chongming Island stage victory after losing teammates in final

Just like the year before, Mylène de Zoete (Ceratizit-WNT) won the opening stage of the Tour of Chongming Island, beating Tereza Neumanová (UAE Team ADQ) in the mass sprint. After her teammate Marta Lach launched a late attack, De Zoete sat on the wheel of eventual runner-up Neumanová.

“I lost the girls just before the last corner, it was chaotic, as always, then I saw Marta up ahead in the attack and thought ‘OK, that’s nice’, De Zoete told Cyclingnews.
