CyclingSunday, 12 February 2023 at 13:34
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.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
