Lorena Wiebes sprints to victory on stage 3 of 2025 Giro d'Italia Women after mass crash rocks peloton in final few km

Lorena Wiebes has taken her first stage win of the 2025 Giro d'Italia Women, avoiding a late mass crash, to win a much reduced sprint on stage 3.
After Nora Jenčušová, the last of the day's breakaway had been caught with 23 kilometres to go, the peloton sped towards what looked like an almost inevitable bunch sprint. Inside the final 10km, it was the teams of CANYON//SRAM zondacrypto, Team SD Worx - Protime, Team Visma | Lease a Bike and FDJ - SUEZ that were fighting for position at the head of the bunch.
Just outside 2km to go, there was then a big crash near the front of the peloton, leaving only around 10 or 15 riders in the lead group to contest the stage win. From that select and somewhat lucky group of riders, it was then Team SD Worx - Protime's European champion Lorena Wiebes who powered to the victory ahead of Josie Nelson and Lotte Kopecky.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- 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
