Stage 1 of the 2024 RideLondon Classique has gone to Team SD Worx - Protime and Lorena Wiebes, thanks inpart to an expert leadout by world champion Lotte Kopecky.
With the duo of Lea Lin Teutenberg and Rebecca Koerner spending most of the day as a two-woman breakaway, as the stage entered the final 30 kilometres, the attackers still had an advantage of around 1:03 over the peloton. Despite their best efforts though, the breakaway were caught with just over 15km to go.
From there, preparation for the expected bunch sprint finale began in earnest at the front of the peloton for most teams. Some though, were still intent on upsetting the applecart, sending solo flyers to try their luck. In the end however, it was a sprint that decided the day with Lorena Wiebes taking the win ahead of Letizia Paternoster and Clara Copponi.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
