Charlotte Kool raced to an impressive opening stage victory at the Simac Ladies Tour, racing round the short 2.4 kilometre prologue a full four seconds faster than second place.
 

Kool's victory is the culmination of expert preparation from both herself and the team behind the scenes with a big focus on perfecting preparation for the race against the clock. Kool takes the first race leader's jersey at the race, whilst teammate Pfeiffer Georgi also finished in the top 10, eight seconds back.
