The Final and only race was run at 19:45 on March 31. The competition consisted on 40 laps, making a total of 10 km.[1] Yumari González attacked off the front of the bunch within the final two laps of the race, securing her gold medal, Calle followed to claim the silver leaving the rest to fight for bronze in a bunch sprint. Rebecca Quinn sprinted between two riders to claim third position but was later relegated when the judges decided she had made contact with another rider in doing so.[2]
