In the final sprint, Vos initially led before Wiebes kicked to take victory, her first UCI Women's World Tour win of the season. Pauline Ferrand-Prévot () was subsequently relegated from 4th place after she was deemed to have "deviated from her line" in the sprint finish.

Following the race, Wiebes stated the win was "one of my best" of her career, with Longo Borghini stating that "next time they're not going to catch me". Wiebes expressed her desire to lengthen the race in future, stating "it would be nice to race closer to 200km, if the rules allow it". Vos and 10th place finisher Puck Pieterse agreed that the race should be longer, with Pieterse noting that the peloton "arrived reasonably fresh" at the bottom of the Poggio. Vollering noted her disappointment that the prize fund for the race was just 11% of the men, with €2,256 awarded for 1st place (compared to €20,000 for the men's race).
