Another flat day awaited the peloton for the third stage of the Simac Ladies Tour. While there were no topographic challenges, the wind played a significant role throughout the day, splitting the race into several groups. When the echelons formed, Team DSM-Firmenich PostNL was sharp and made it into the front group of 22 with four riders: Charlotte Kool, Megan Jastrab, Franziska Koch, and Rachele Barbieri. The quartet was attentive approaching the finish, covering any moves and launching an attack with Franziska Koch. However, the race came back together, and the day was decided in a sprint from this group. In the high-speed sprint, Charlotte Kool finished fourth, with her three teammates also securing spots in the top 10 after some excellent teamwork.
