The Mauritian road race champion beat Cherise Willeit and Chante Olivier into second and third respectively.
“I’ve never won it before. This is the first. It’s really great to be able to pull off this win.
“My goals were definitely to take the win today and see how I go throughout the race and my progress since the Fast One,” said Le Court, referring to the 97km race that took place in Meyerton at the end of January, in which she placed fourth.
The 23-year-old said in the first kilometre of yesterday’s race she had a mechanical and had to stop on the side of the road with her teammate Heidi Dalton.
