Lorena WiIebes has started the Simac Ladies Tour with a victory in the first stage. She was part of the breakaway of 21 riders and managed to continue the lead till the finish line and secure the victory.
“As expected, there was some wind out there today,” said Wiebes. She continues “The group broke after the first time passing the finish line, and we had four riders in there, but it all came back with the headwind. On another crosswind part, there was a big crash and Pfeiffer was caught up in it, so that was not the best situation for us, and it split the race.
She was also involved in a small crash 59 kilometers before the finish, but she was able to join the group of breakaway riders soon and eventually took the win. “The group behind never came back and we focused on the stage win. Franzi did a great job with keeping the pace and closing the attacks in the last five kilometers, and Charlotte then brought me in the perfect position through the last corner. I’m super happy to finish it off for them,” said Wiebes. Since it was first stage she is also the overall leader in GC.

maria2024202422-11-2024 - It happens all to often. My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib.
