Lorena Wiebes: "I think this whole week was a really good team effort and we can be super proud of it"
Cycling
The Baloise Ladies Tour ended with a thrilling sprint in the final stage on Sunday. Lorena Wiebes earned four stage wins out of six as she secured victory in the final stage.
She finished the final stage with a sprint without much difficulty. She lead an early breakaway with the support of her teammates. “Early in the stage three girls went away, but we were always at the front and controlling things,” said Wiebes.

She has continued dominating the tour and shown her best form before the Tour de France Femmes started. “We really started to chase it down in the last lap and the team did a really good job, with Esmée, Léa, and Francesca. We saved Liane and Pfeiffer for the end, with Liane doing an earlier job to position us before we followed Trek. Pfeiffer then once again did an amazing lead out for me, which made it a lot easier for me to sprint. I think this whole week was a really good team effort and we can be super proud of it,” concluded Wiebes. She missed the overall victory against Ellen van Dijk with 21 seconds and secured the second position in the GC.

- I had no idea about that either.
santiagobenites10-11-2026 - great analysis thanks! appreciate you posting this. I didn't realize CX had a different standard for deviation. this is even more egregious it seems.mij10-11-2026
- As he isn't currently with Red Bull, I guess if he want to race for one more year he needs to find a team. He's 37 so this will be his last year I would guess, unless he wants to race for almost nothing like Froome did.awp10-11-2026
- I think some are making much ado about nothing. Even though Jonas is getting older, before his crash in the Tour, he looked like a solid 2nd all the way home. No one can really climb with Tadej until this year, Eric Mas showed himself which I think was a one off year for him and Paul Seixas has been able to be pretty close to him. Whatever stage race Jonas enters as long as Tadej is not there he is a favorite to win.awp10-11-2026
- Giro or not Giro, he won't win the Tour!MajorPayne10-11-2026
- Very true.awp10-11-2026
- Ciccone had a very strong end of season. Consistently attacking and livening up races. Hope he makes that last leap in progress and starts notching some significant wins. Great rider to watch.Occam10-11-2026

- they can sign any 100 of top riders today but Pogi will win over Remco any time at the TDF unless something goes wrongabstractengineer10-11-2026
- the time for a GC rider to retire is when they cannot win stages, or have a significant level drop like from winner/podium into top 5/10 consistently. Roglic is still competitive and Froome raced even though he became pack fodder.abstractengineer10-11-2026
