Supported by teammate Franziska Koch, Lippert split the race up on one of the early climbs, catching the lone attacker and forming a group of five out front. Working well together, the group extended their gap and would ultimately fight it out for the win. Using experience that belies her relatively young age, Lippert bided her time and followed the attacks before unleashing a strong uphill kick to claim the win in the sprint; raising her arms aloft in jubilation.
