Vittoria Guazzini (FDJ-Suez) powered to victory in the small group sprint at Le Samyn des Dames 2024 after riding a tactically perfect final 10km.
With the peloton closing quickly behind, the Italian was part of a group of five that battled it out for the victory in Dour after bridging the gap to the original breakaway trio with Christina Schweinberger (Fenix-Deceuninck).
Schweinberger settled for third on the day after trying to open the final sprint up early, overtaken by the more powerful Guazzini and Anniina Ahtosalo (Uno-X Mobility) during the final run to the line.
Guazzini was third on both of her previous appearances at the Belgian one-day race, but went one better this time out with her fourth professional victory.
