Tiffany Cromwell (Canyon-SRAM) lined up as defending champion at the second edition of FNLD GRVL and once again flew solo to victory in the 177km women’s race, shaking a determined attempt by Klara Sofie Skovgård Hansen to stay firm on her wheel on the final climb.
The last ascent before the Lahti finish line was also a pivotal point for the men’s race, with the now-retired WorldTour sprint powerhouse André Greipel dropped from the leading group. Multi-discipline Estonian rider Markus Pajur then triumphed in the tight charge to the line among the group of seven, with Tobias Kongstad third and Frederik Rassmann third.
