Caroline Anderson has come across for Liv Lulejkovic.
Now there's an acceleration from the red jersey of Fenix Deceuninck.
As we just see Bussoit trying to get back on for Aegean Insurance-Soudal.
But the acceleration on the front as we come into the final kilometre.
This is making it very, very tricky.
Looking over the shoulder once again.
So we're inside this final kilometre now.
Five riders at the front of the race.
Yeah, Jara Kastelijn, once they got back on, she did do that attack.
And it's kind of what she needed to do in a group like this
to try and get away.
She would be the rider that you would say
hasn't got the best sprint out of this group.
And actually some really strong sprinters here
with Shari Bussoit getting back on.
But Niamh Fisher-Black also doing everything she can
to help Elisa Balsamo get back on as quickly as possible.
We're going to have a couple more corners
before we head into this finishing straight now.
Coming into the finishing straight,
we can see the flag saying 300 metres to go.
Can Elisa Balsamo get back to the front of the race?
She's had Niamh Fisher-Black work for her.
There's five riders at the head,
but Elisa Balsamo might have timed this to perfection.
Is the sprinter going to catch the climbers out here?
We had such a select group at the front.
That move from Liana Lippert
looked like it could have been the race-winning move,
but Balsamo is now back in this group.
Carline Svinkels unleashes her sprint.
The winner of this race last year,
trying to go clear from her rivals,
trying to take this victory once again for UAE Team ADQ.
We've got Adrian Schultz down up there with Shari Bussoit,
who is going to get this sprint on the line.
Absolutely full gas all the way for Adrian Schultz down,
and she's done it.
Shari Bussoit takes the win here from Carline Svinkels
and Elisa Balsamo on the line at the GP of Wallonia-Des-Dames.
What a finish we've had there.
Yeah, a really tough finish there.
Balsamo getting back on,
but just had nothing left in the legs there
after that really tough climb.
And Shari Bussoit, she rode herself back onto that group,
and she's had a really tough last couple of years,
so I think there's going to be a lot of relief there for her.
Huge amount of relief there for Shari Bussoit,
and a fantastic win there for Adrian Schultz.
The other riders just come in over the line.
That finishing climb, of course, being very, very tough.
Final three kilometers all uphill, plenty of cobbles.
So much happened there at the end.
And Alice, it was the rider that just poised and waited and waited,
didn't try and launch too early,
that came off best at the end there.
Definitely.
Swingles opening up the sprint,
but also Shari did open quite early around 250 to go
to try and get around the other riders to not be boxed in.
But we could see just around this right-hand bend,
it was Swingles in the lead,
and Shari Bussoit just having the edge towards the line
and able to pip Swingles on the line.
But a really brutal sprint at the top of that climb.
Such a fantastic finale to this race.
Swingles having the inside line there as well,
but Bussoit just timing that to absolute perfection.
Balsamer able to get herself back to the front of the race,
but could not match the speed of these two at the finish.
Bussoit, plenty of time to look around and celebrate.
What a fantastic victory for the rider
returning to the Pro Peloton this season with AG Insurance Soudal.
