WNT-Roter's Kirsten Wild was the first to cross the finish line, but was demoted after it was determined that her crash was caused by going off line with around 100 meters to go; Lorena Wiebes of Parkhotel Valkenburg, who finished in second place, was the first rider to cross the finish line, but was demoted after her crash was determined to be the cause of the crash, She was declared the winner by decision of the Commissaires.

Barker suffered a broken collarbone and Hosking a concussion. Meanwhile, Quippers' back injury was deemed serious enough to sideline her for the remainder of the season, and although it proved to be so, the 24-year-old is now back in training well ahead of schedule.

"I was expected to take 8 to 12 weeks to recover, but it only took 7 weeks," she told the CCC-Liv website.

"As a top athlete, I may be a little fitter than most, but still, this is especially fast. I guess it's because the team didn't waste any time and immediately referred me to the right specialist, which resulted in me doing the right exercises."

"I'm fully recovered," Quippers continued. 'I have no more complaints, no more aftereffects. The crash was more innocent than it looks and it could have ended differently."

I've been out of competition for a couple of months and I'll be competing in a few national cyclocross races to experience the (competitive) drive I have in racing."
