The Vuelta Extremadura Féminas came into being last season and was absolutely dominated by Arkea. Starting with a 6.4km team time trial, Arkea took the win over Stade Rochelais by just 4 seconds which set the GC up nicely for a final day ascent to Piornal. Arkea were by far the strongest team with a podium lockout by Megan Armitage, Clara Emond and Maaike Colje. The nearest challenger was Massi Tactic’s Cecile Lejeune but all other riders were more than a minute behind.
