Race report

The fastest starter was Ellen Van Loy who took the head start but did not manage to get away from the bunch. At the end of the first lap, eight riders were still within 6 seconds: Eva Lechner, Marianne Vos, Sanne Cant, Kateřina Nash, Lucinda Brand, home rider Christine Majerus, surprise Maghalie Rochette and Van Loy.

Vos, Cant and Brand opened up a gap and separated as a group; Vos tried several times to break away but Cant each time managed to close the gap with Brand trailing slightly. On the fourth of five laps, Cant slipped and lost about ten seconds, therefore Vos went into the final lap with eight seconds advantage. Meanwhile, Nash had come back from behind and was leading Brand by a few seconds for third place.

On the final lap, Vos' chain dropped, forcing her to step off the bike and manually put it back in place which allowed Cant to close the gap. The two battled it out on the slippery last half lap, overtaking each other several times. At the final real obstacle, a steep descent, Cant was able to overtake Vos and kept the lead onto the final straight, outsprinting Vos to take her first world title. Twenty seconds later, Nash outsprinted Brand for third place.
