Mark Cavendish wasn?t the only British winner in Belgium last night as national criterium champion Joanna Rowsell, won the women?s support race earlier in the evening.

It was Rowsell?s third win in eight races in the past two weeks, as not even a crash midway through the race could stop her from taking victory ahead of the field. ?We attacked and got away in a group of five, then me and Lizzie [Armitstead] attacked and the two of us got away,? Rowsell said.
