Lorena Wiebes took a third straight win for Team SD Worx at the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas 2023 in a thrilling finale to stage 3.
A bunch sprint was thought to be virtually impossible to be prevented on stage 3 of the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas. However, with the sprint into Aranda de Duero having some uphill gradients, possibilities of making a meaningful difference into the line were there.
After Lorena Wiebes took victory on stage 1 and crossed the line first on stage 2 before being relegated to third, the Team SD Worx rider was expected to be heavily involved once again.
With 15km to go, seven riders were 50 seconds ahead of the peloton with the Movistar Team's Sheyla Gutiérrez the best-placed of them in the general classification at 3:14.
As the break reached 5km to go that advantage had only dropped to 36 seconds meaning the expected sprint finale was by no means a certainty.
A brilliant effort by the break continued and they held a slim lead of 15 seconds as the went through the flamme rouge.
In a thrilling finale, Wiebes launched a brutal sprint, overtaking the breakaway within a bike length of the line.

- They couldn’t convict him criminally because he paid up to escape it (that weird American possibility that ensures not all are equal before the law). He was convicted civilly but technically for committing crime. I on the other hand live in a country where unexplained damage to a baby in your care in theory leads to minimum 5 years of prison, if you admit an accident it’s more lenient but telling the truth that you don’t know how a bump on the skull happened exposes you to the as much risk as some who murder and rape. The developed world doesn’t deserve that designationMistermaumau20-11-2024
- Doesn’t deserve criticism considering all he won with all the crashes plus how close he got to a TdF (Pog had luck). If Pog and Jonas battle and wipe each other out we have Remco and Primoz to put on a show.Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- Agreed. Until he can stay upright on his bike, he’s at best an incomplete for a grade. That doesn’t mean that on his best form he can’t win it all. We just haven’t seen it.mij20-11-2024

- After the Cian Saga, all contracts should have a release clause or at least a legal framework for contract breaking. this is getting ridiculous.abstractengineer20-11-2024
- Other than Pog, the other leaders are beatable and They contributed 56 wins. But when team strategy is to pit best leaders against Pog and so-so leaders against Hirschi, Yates, Mcnulty, that team is going to lose everything.abstractengineer20-11-2024
- The ones I know were great races, sure, but all of cycling history, and they're almost all from 2010 to now? Yeah no. I mean, great choices, some amazing stages, watched many of them live, have re-watched many of them when I could, but really this is 8 great races from the past 15 years, plus two others.RidesHills19-11-2024
