La Madrid Challenge 2022: Grace Brown wins Stage 3 showdown as Annemiek van Vleuten defends red with ease
Grace Brown (FDJ Suez Futuroscope) timed her sprint to perfection to win Stage 3 at La Madrid Challenge from a two-woman break.
Inside the last 10km, Brown broke free from a reduced bunch with Elise Chabbey (Canyon-SRAM.) Having made it to the final straight assured that victory would come from one of them, the Australian loitered in the slipstream of the Swiss rider until the last possible moment. Brown allowed her rival to lead out the sprint, before pulling alongside and grabbing victory on the line.
