Having taken a stage victory at last year’s edition,
Lorena Wiebes is keen to get her season under way at the
UAE Tour Women on Thursday. The SD Worx - Protime sprinter won stage 2 of the four-day stage race in 2023 and held the leader’s jersey for a stage, but was ultimately outmatched in the sprints throughout the race by Charlotte Kool, who beat her on two occasions.
“This race is another good test for our leadout” said Wiebes in an interview with WielerFlits ahead of the race, “compared to the last edition, our train is a lot stronger. I want to show that I am there again by taking a victory”.
