Jolien D'Hoore took victory in La Madrid Challenge by La Vuelta as the inaugural Women's WorldTour came to a close.
D'Hoore surged clear in the sprint to finish ahead of Wiggle-High5 team-mate Chloe Hoskins, with Marta Bastianelli (Ale Cipollini) third.
Megan Guarnier (Boels Dolmans) already had an insurmountable lead in the standings and finished safely in the bunch.
It is the second year of the La Madrid Challenge, which consisted of 15 laps of the city circuit the men's Vuelta a Espana will finish on.
With 10 kilometres left of the 85.5km route, a two-rider break had 24 seconds on the peloton but Simona Frapporti and Claudia Lichtenberg were reeled in with just over 3km to go before Wiggle-High5 took charge.
