Siobhan Horgan has posted a decent ride in one of her last big international races before the World Road Race Championships in Holland next month. The Cork rider finished in the peloton at the end of the challenging GP de Plouay-Bretagne in France yesterday, Saturday.
The race was the concluding round of the women’s season-long World Cup, with victory on the day and in the series going to Olympic Champion Marianne Vos (Rabobank).
The Dutch rider put in a dominant performance in the rain yesterday, coming home solo some 35 seconds ahead of Australian Tiffany Cromwell (Orica).
A select group of 30 riders went clear on the climbs of the closing laps, with attacking on the final two laps splitting that group and a late surge from Vos on the last climb seeing her emerge victorious.
