Charlotte Kool won the third stage of the
Simac Ladies Tour. She beat her teammate and previous stage winner
Lorena Wiebes to secure the victory.
“Today the team did amazing again, they did so well, and they were all so strong,” said Kool. She continues, “Elise had some super legs and managed to counter many attacks and keep us in front on the key moments, with Leah helping. Then the finale went so well with Franzi coming just in time and Pfeiffer timing her efforts perfectly.”
Lorena Wiebes was at the back of the peloton but managed to come forward in the final kilometers, the duo worked together and eventually secured gold and silver, respectively.“ Then Lorena did a massive lead out by switching super late before the last corner, and the only thing I had to do was finish off the amazing teamwork today. Three wins in a row is really special, and especially how the team managed to keep control over the day – it’s just an honor to finish it off like this,” concluded Kool. She currently holds the second position in GC, just 7 seconds behind her teammate and overall leader Lorena Wiebes.
