Three stages wins as well as the general classification, points jersey and QOM. Team SD Worx - ProTime took absolute control of the course of action at Vuelta a Burgos Feminas and wrapped up the cold day in Central Spain with a dominant Demi Vollering solo ride. The Dutch lady naturally also brings home the Purple jersey for race winner after she found no match in the mountains of Castilla y León.
"It's great to win the three Spanish stage races," Vollering opens in team press release. "After a difficult spring, this is confirmation that the form is good. I also felt good in the spring classics, but each time it was just not enough," the Dutch champion returns to her unsatisfying spring where she hadn't won a single race herself, despite coming close on multiple occasions.
However in Spain it is a different story for Vollering who completed to 'Spanish Hat-trick' by winning three stage races across the country within the space of three weeks. "I am happy to win the Vuelta Burgos after Vuelta Femenina and Itzulia Femenina. It was quite cold during the final stage. My team controlled perfectly. Lorena Wiebes helped me to position myself well for the final climb."
On the steep slopes of Alto del Rozavientos, Vollering set a pace so hard, her opponents had no choice but to let go off the phenomenal SD Worx leader. "But I was so cold that I had no real acceleration left in my legs. By keeping the pace as high as possible, I hoped to cross the top alone. That plan succeeded. After that, the road to the stage win was open."
"May is a brilliant month for me. I'm already looking forward to the sequel. My big goals are coming up with the Olympics, the Tour de France and the World Championships," Vollering says about her plans for the rest of this season. "First, I want to enjoy these wins in Spain. It's special to win the overall classification at the Vuelta Burgos two years in a row."

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
