Charlotte Kool outsprints again her former teammate Lorena Wiebes and takes the last stage of UAE Ladies Tour
Cycling
The last stage of the first ever edition of UAE Ladies Tour ended in another mass sprint with Charlotte Kool taking again the best ahead of Lorena Wiebes. The Team DSM rider made another epic sprint duel with her former teammate now in SD Worx to take the sprint win. Elisa Longo Borghini finished with the best and become the first winner of UAE Ladies Tour.
Three riders formed the breakaway of this closing stage, Petra Stiasny (Fenix-Deceunick), Aileen Schweikart (Laboral Kutxka Fundación Euskadi) and Iris Monticolo (Top Girls Fassa Bortolo). The break was caught around 13 kilometres to go.
Today there wasn't much strong crosswind, until the peloton passed on a bridge on the last 15 km where Liane Lippert and Emma Norsgaard (Movistar Team) made an echelon that stretched the peloton. But to no avail since all went together and a bunch sprint happened. Team SD Worx made the lead out but Lorena Wiebes launched her sprint a bit too early and Kool took advantage of that.
Charlotte Kool (Team DSM) finished ahead of (Chiara Consonni (Team UAE ADQ) and Lorena Wiebes (Team SD Worx). Elisa Longo Borghini took the general classification win ahead of teammate Gaia Realini (both Trek-Segafredo) and Silvia Persico (Team UAE ADQ) becoming the first ever winner of the UAE Ladies Tour.

- Where Merckx just rode every single race he could and won all the time, Hinault won less often (percentage wise) because he was more judicious in what he raced. His palmares are nuts. He had amazing rivals, one to start his career and another to end it in the grand tours. His classics were solid. What sets him apart from Merckx and Pogačar are that he basically dabbled in the classics while the other two love(d) them. I used to compare Pogačar to Hinault for his grand tour record and occasional classics win, until I realized that the comparison was wrong. Pogačar loves the classics - ah, the memory of his reaction to finishing fourth in a 2 person sprint in Flanders in ‘22: utter domination in any one day race since then, even when he doesn’t win. Hinault lived for the grand tours and I don’t think anyone else will ever reach his record. 10 wins in 13 attempts? Good lord. An amazing rider. Wish there was more footage to watch.RidesHills11-11-2026
- I had no idea about that either.
santiagobenites10-11-2026 - great analysis thanks! appreciate you posting this. I didn't realize CX had a different standard for deviation. this is even more egregious it seems.mij10-11-2026
- As he isn't currently with Red Bull, I guess if he want to race for one more year he needs to find a team. He's 37 so this will be his last year I would guess, unless he wants to race for almost nothing like Froome did.awp10-11-2026
- I think some are making much ado about nothing. Even though Jonas is getting older, before his crash in the Tour, he looked like a solid 2nd all the way home. No one can really climb with Tadej until this year, Eric Mas showed himself which I think was a one off year for him and Paul Seixas has been able to be pretty close to him. Whatever stage race Jonas enters as long as Tadej is not there he is a favorite to win.awp10-11-2026
- Giro or not Giro, he won't win the Tour!MajorPayne10-11-2026
- Very true.awp10-11-2026
- Ciccone had a very strong end of season. Consistently attacking and livening up races. Hope he makes that last leap in progress and starts notching some significant wins. Great rider to watch.Occam10-11-2026
- Me too!!!!!Occam10-11-2026
- they can sign any 100 of top riders today but Pogi will win over Remco any time at the TDF unless something goes wrongabstractengineer10-11-2026
