The first edition of Tour de France Femmes kicked off on Sunday. Team DSM rider Lorena Wiebes secured victory in the tour's first stage.
"This is great. I am very happy with this," said Wiebes with a smile on her face. She continues, "The team did a great job. We all worked towards this. I am also very happy for everyone at the headquarters."
Wiebes overtook Marianne Vos in the last few meters of the race and narrowly won the stage. "It was a chaotic and long sprint. I did expect from Marianne Vos that she would make a long sprint, so it is nice to win like this. It was very close, but I could accelerate again until the finish," said Wiebes.
Wiebes says she will keep looking for more opportunities in the tour. "The team has deserved this season. We are already looking forward to the upcoming opportunities," concluded Wiebes. Thanks to her victory, she will participate in the next stage with yellow jersey on her shoulders.

- everything you hear about lance and his team back in their “glory” days is so weird and creepy and gross. it always just reinforces that at least among a certain group, lance isn’t hated and despised only for the doping — other dopers have been cast out but not HATED — it’s because he’s just an extremely AWFUL human being in virtually every way imaginable.OCexile23-12-2024
