Briton Dani Rowe (WaowDeals Pro Cycling) sits second, with her team-mate Vos a further second in arrears. A further thirteen riders are all within 23 seconds of Rivera on GC with three days of racing remaining.<\/p>\n

After a long solo breakaway by Maaike Boogaard (BTC City Ljubljana) was reeled in by the peloton, the first ascent of Newnham Hill saw a group of four, containing last year\u2019s winner Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon\/\/SRAM), Vos, Rowe and Elisa Longo Borghini (Wiggle HIGH5), go clear with 35 kilometres remaining.<\/p>\n

Having contested the day\u2019s final intermediate Eisberg Sprint on the first passage of the finish line in Daventry \u2013 won by Rowe \u2013 the group were pulled back as Team Sunweb, and in particular Floortje Mackaij, worked hard for Rivera.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe weren\u2019t represented so did have to do something but we didn\u2019t panic,\u201d said Rivera afterwards of that elite but short-lived breakaway that preceded her first victory in the OVO Energy Women\u2019s Tour.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just communicated to Floortje, who was riding really well today, to help me pace to it. Then as we got closer to the top I was able to bridge across to the climbers in the front group. Luckily we already had Ellen [Van Dijk] in there [by then] and so I just communicated to her to just drive it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Van Dijk\u2019s pace setting on the three-kilometre run back to Daventry from the final climb kept the front group of 18 riders together and warded off any further attacks, setting up a thrilling finish. Rivera\u2019s tighter line through the curved finish, combined with a fantastic last-ditch bike throw, gave her the win over Vos.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Team Sunweb coach Hans Timmermans (NED) said: \u201cWe stayed cool as the late break went clear and after they were brought back we still had four riders in the leading group. In the final the girls positioned Coryn super good and when the front group went clear, Ellen could follow. Coryn bridged across on the final climb with two and a half to go and from there it was full gas towards the finish line to gain some time”.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are still three days to go so we will race smart and not spend too much energy on defending, but it\u2019s a great confidence boost to take the win today.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Second-placed Rowe continues to lead the Adnams Best British Rider classification while Rivera also moves into the Breast Cancer Care Points Jersey and Eisberg Sprints Jersey. Thanks to her performances on Newnham Hill, Wiggle HIGH5\u2019s Elisa Longo Borghini takes the lead in the SKODA Queen of the Mountains classification with a 10-point advantage over erstwhile leader Christine Majerus (Boels-Dolmans).<\/p>\n
