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.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
