Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig has won the queen stage of the Tour of Scandinavia. She beat Liane Lippert to secure the victory.
Team DSM rider Esmée Pepperkamp took the lead of 30 seconds at the start of the stage. But she was soon caught in the next 20 kilometers. The peloton rode together for some kilometers before Sarah Roy took a small lead of 10 seconds which soon increased to 30 seconds in the next 10 kilometers.
Nina Kessler, Lucinda Brand, and Lieke Nooijen soon joined Sarah as the group focused on increasing the gap. But the peloton did not let the riders enjoy the lead for much longer as they soon caught them 45 kilometers before the finish. Sophie Wright was the next to try her luck in an attempt to create some distance, and she was able to create a considerable gap of 2 minutes.
Sophie was caught at the start of the final climb of the race. As the riders started the climb, cracks started to appear in the peloton. Liane Lippert and Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig took a 20-second lead. Ludwig took the stage victory as Lippert finished second behind her. Julie Van de Velde took the bronze. Ludwig is also the new overall leader in GC.

- So far, a good series about riders before my time, even if the text feels AI generated like so much on this site. About the rider, he seems like one of many who are active fan favorites but don’t survive in the stories of cycling, a few decades later - I didn’t really know anything about him and this was a good read, thank you!RidesHills15-11-2026
- A calm, honest documentary, a bit of hagiography but mostly not too much. When he talks about a coffee shop, it aligns with several things in his world - he might want calm, but he does (more than a little bit) have someone near him (his fiancee) who makes sure that things happen the way he expects. Many atheletes have retired only to find out just how much others were taking care of their lives for them. If they work out (I'm old, things happen), I am sure it will take a renegotiation, which is a good thing. I truly enjoyed watching it, seeing him, seeing her, seeing the whole system built around him.RidesHills15-11-2026
- You do? My mother grew up around Bleiburg (Pliberk), across the border in Austria . My grandparents lived close to the train station in Bleiburg, and I spent a lot of the 70s and 80s there. The "Jugo" train of my youth went to Dravograd or Maribor, exotic places (behind the wall) at the time. What a moment that was, the 10 days war of '91 - times sure have changed.RidesHills15-11-2026

- b.s. headline. Jonas wasn't told anything, it is just a pundit telling him what to do. the actual article is not even close to the insinuation of the headline.mij15-11-2026
- I think Roglic could have beaten Sepp. not Jonas. I was referring to Sepp.mij15-11-2026
- I'm deeply sick of this guy and his unwillingness to race seriously for more than a month or two. I'll never respect riders who do that. Seixas will be stronger than him next season, and maybe Del Toro as well. I don't even think he'll finish on the podium at any GT where Pogi, Seixas, and Del Toro are racing.megasmacky15-11-2026
- Not a chance in hell.megasmacky15-11-2026
- If you go watch some races from last season other riders that have never caught Jonas...are now catching him. Some are just riding away from him and he can't hold the wheelmd197514-11-2026
