Lorena Wiebes " will try to make it three" after second successive win in Women's Tour

Lorena Wiebes claimed the leader’s yellow jersey by sprinting to a second successive victory on the stage of the Women’s Tour. The Dutch rider took advantage of English Team DSM teammate Pfeiffer Georgi’s lead-out to cross the line first in Gloucester.
But the 23-year-old had to do things the hard way, battling back from being dropped by the peloton on an uncategorized climb with 20km of the 107.9km stage from Tewkesbury remaining, to rejoin the front group with 9km to go.
“Today was a hard stage, with attacks from the beginning of the race, The girls did a great job reacting to them all. On the first climbs, we were in a good position and Leah and Franzi kept the pace up because of the breakaway. On the second last climb, I was with Charlotte and Pfeiffer in the second group but when we started the last climb, they brought it back to the first group. We will go all-in tomorrow to try and make it three.” said Wiebes in a post-race interview.
She has already won four of the last six Women’s Tour stages – dating back to the race last year – and was again successful in the first Women’s Tour leg to take place in Gloucester. “I think we can be more than happy about today. It was a hard stage today and was not easy,” Wiebes’s Team DSM coach Albert Timmer said.

- The other commenters are exactly right - different eras. It does help that bikes now have lower gears without sacrificing higher ones. Merckx rode up mountain passes with a 5 speed cluster- and I doubt he had anything less than a 42x24. See how exhausted you'd be going up Mont Ventoux with that, lol.ScottG14-11-2024
- Times have changed, Bart Wellens, and it's only natural and makes total sense that riders like Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel's primary focus is on their road careers. It has absolutely nothing to do with doing a 'disservice' to the UCI.
santiagobenites14-11-2024 - Bad for us, good for them, indifferent for newcomers. When a bank offers you 50 to open an account is that good or bad? Good for you, bad for existing clients paying for it who received nothing when they joined, indifferent for future new clients who might get 100.Mistermaumau14-11-2024
