Lucinda Brand powers to victory in Superprestige Diegem women’s race

Lucinda Brand (Baloise Trek) powered to victory in the nighttime Superprestige round in Diegem on Monday, surging away from Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado on the penultimate lap.

Charging through lapped riders, Brand never looked back on the final trip around the artificially lit circuit. Alvarado finished second while Inge van der Heijden (Crelan-Corendon) overcame a late mechanical to hold onto the final podium spot.
