The 23-year-old Canadian climber attacked the select lead group in the final kilometres and had plenty of time to celebrate as she crossed the line 55 seconds ahead of her closest competitor. 

Emma Langley (Virginia’s Blue Ridge-TWENTY24) was second and Eleanor Wiseman (Fount Cycling) finished third on the 40-mile stage.
