CyclingThursday, 08 February 2024 at 13:23
In a bunch sprint finish, Team SD Worx - Protime's Lorena Wiebes opened her account her 2024 with a dominant victory at the UAE Tour Women.
Although it took over half the stage for the elastic to finally snap when a breakaway did eventually form, just a sole rider, Gaia Segato managed to get out in front and soon after she was joined by Yanina Kuskova. Sadly for them though, they couldn't make it stick and a whole peloton attacked the finale together.
A late crash saw a number of riders held up with around 10km to go, but pre-stage favourite, Lorena Wiebes was unaffected and as such, was able to power her way to a sprint win ahead of Rachele Barbieri and Chiara Consonni.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- 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
