Bakker escaped on the second of the five laps of the muddy course, eking out a lead and holding it. Eventually she crossed the line 14 seconds ahead of Italian champion Sara Casasola (Crelan-Corendon) in second place, with Denise Betsema (De Ceuster Bouwkranen) third.

The race was notable for the abandon of World Champion Lucinda brand, the Baloise-Poetsbureau Lions rider crashing out on the opening lap.
