Brennauer had trailed Solovey at the second intermediate time split, but produced a superb attack over the last eight kilometres to take victory.

"I had a really good day. The race was very long but I gave it my all on the climb. It's overwhelming. I can't believe it right now," Brennauer told reporters.

Defending champion Ellen van Dijk finished seventh, a minute and 11 seconds behind Brennauer.
