Anna Van Der Breggen of Boels Dolmans has won the Liege-Bastogne-Liege Woman's race.
The victory was the Dutch woman's third of the week and winning the Amstel Gold race last Sunday and La Fleche Walloone, Van Der Breggen became the first woman to win the Ardennes treble.
Speaking about her victory, Van Der Breggen said: “I was struggling a lot on the final climb, Côte de Saint Nicolas, but I had to launch an attack there and then because, if I had failed to open a gap, it would have made things much easier for my rivals.
"Liège–Bastogne–Liège Femmes is probably the most beautiful race I've ever taken part in. I'm glad to see new races added to the calendar. I still can't believe I've won the treble. It's incredible."
