Dominant Lorena Wiebes sprints to 97th pro win at Le Samyn des Dames 2025
Cycling
Lorena Wiebes is edging ever closer to a landmark 100th pro win. The European champion celebrated the 97th victory of her career on Tuesday afternoon at Le Samyn des Dames 2025, sprinting to glory by a bike length in a dominant performance.
Perhaps in part related to the incredible scenes at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad WE over the weekend, the peloton didn't allow any breakaway to form in this race. As such, a pretty full peloton headed into the final lap together. Even on the cobbles of the final lap, only an attack by Eugenia Bujak managed to get any separation at the front, although she too had been swallowed up heading into the final 7km.
As a result of this intense chasing of any attacks, the expected sprint finish transpired in Dour. Once the sprints opened though, any drama was quickly over as Team SD Worx - Protime's European champion Lorena Wiebes stormed to a dominant victory ahead of Lara Gillespie and Linda Zanetti.

- Yep I think he must still be recovering from that crash last year. He has done well to get over that, but I would bet it will take some time yet to get back to peak pre-crash fitness. This latest "off" will not have helped.Cyclingsbestfan17-03-2025

Obviously cyclist breathe far more than average humans which should help keep things cleaner, on the other hand if you don’t clean your nose well or use an infected finger … and then why bacteria and not viruses? I would prepare mentally for more testing if this doesn’t solve things. Teeth and gums are the most overlooked entry point for infectious agents. Ears and eyes can also be easily contaminated.Mistermaumau17-03-2025
- Yeah, sorry, some people forget a few facts like him being in a similar age category as Tadej, Jonas, Remco, Tom and that there are plenty of promising younger riders developing too so it’s really quite far-fetched based on current givens.Mistermaumau17-03-2025

- Name another race with 20 different winners in the last 30 years. This is probably the single most influential fact that points towards Tadej, or will it be Mads, or a « newcomer »?Mistermaumau17-03-2025
- Nobody asked you and you have very little future prediction precedent. 20 years ago no-one predicted Slovenian cycling domination, Tadej, Trump, Manchester United replaced by City, the recent serial UK Tory leadership or the drastic demise of German Olympic performance. Unfortunately JJ probably won’t be around much longer so can’t be held « accountable » if wrong.Mistermaumau17-03-2025
