Team Specialized-lululemon's Ellen Van Dijk shared the yellow jersey in the final three stages of the Lotto Decca Tour with Van Dijk eventually taking the overall win on Monday. Brennauer took second in stage 3 and moved into yellow only to let it go on the final day back to her teammate.
"It was really a team effort from the start," said Van Dijk. "Winning the TTT really set us up for the rest of the Tour, but we had to work hard to keep it, especially today."
The final stage took in two ascents of the infamous Muur van Geraardsbergen and the short 90km race was fast and aggressive from the first lap with Orica Green Edge the aggressors of the day. Loes Gunnewijk soloed away to become leader on the road mid way through the race until Van Dijk attacked the second time up the Muur with Emma Johansson in toe to eventually bring her back. The trio were caught and young Annette Edmondson won the final sprint with finished half way up the climb.
"We had a great week of racing," said Brennauer, "it was really nice to wear yellow. The whole team worked really hard all week and we're really happy to end up with the overall win."
