“I'm going all in for Demi" - Race leader Lorena Wiebes to turn helper for Vollering as the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas reaches its climax
Cycling
Crossing the line first on each of the first three stages of the 2023 Vuelta a Burgos Feminas, (although she was relegated to 3rd on stage 2), Lorena Wiebes has revealed she is backing teammate Demi Vollering on the as the race reaches its climax.
“I'm going all in for Demi," Wiebes says in her post-stage interview following her victory on stage 3. "Now it's my turn to give something back to the team."
As has been the case throughout the World Tour of 2023, Team SD Worx have been dominant so far at the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas. In a thrilling finale to stage 3, Wiebes overtook the breakaway with less than 100m to the line. Although it looked like a close call to viewers, Wiebes was always confident.
"In the last meters I saw them lose some speed. At that moment Demi went full steam ahead. I started my sprint early," she explains. "I was able to use the leading group as a focal point. We worked very hard for this win. Everything that happened on the previous stage gave me extra motivation to win here."

- It's going to happen at some point. It will happen to Tadej as well, we all get older. Jonas was in pretty great form at the tour. I still consider him a top two or three cyclist in the world, until he's not.awp15-11-2026

- Pogi takes care of his teammates in races and training. Tadej Pogačar is widely praised within the cycling peloton for his fair and egalitarian leadership, actively supporting his UAE teammates both on the road during races and behind the scenes at training camps. Rather than acting like an untouchable superstar, he has intense team loyalty by sharing daily chores, giving up personal glory to help domestiques, and publicly praising their sacrifices. Unlike some Grand Tour contenders, like Vingegaard, who occasionally train away from their squads, Pogi consistently attends team training camps alongside his domestiques, making the exact same sacrifices to build friendship. I love how Pogačar shares his teammates-domestiques, either when they succeed or win in races or when they simply just do a good job for him. It has to be a great moral boost for them. And then they work even harder and go even deeper for Pogi. This is teamwork.PogiSloFans15-11-2026
