Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime) defended her purple leader’s jersey in style on the fourth and final stage of the Vuelta a Burgos Féminas, attacking on the steep climb to the Alto de Rozavientos and soloing to the finish to win 51 seconds ahead of Lucinda Brand (Lidl-Trek) and 1:14 minutes ahead of Évita Muzic (FDJ-SUEZ).
Brand had attacked with 30km to go and started the 3.5-kilometre climb a minute ahead, but Vollering passed her on the steepest part. Brand was also passed by Muzic just before the top but distanced the Frenchwoman again in the descent.
Although Brand closed the gap to Vollering to less than 20 seconds, the GC leader was too strong on the slightly-uphill finish and held off Brand for a solo victory, also winning the GC as well as the points and mountain classifications.
