Lorena WiIebes on victory in opening stage of Simac Ladies Tour - "I’m super happy to finish it off"
Cycling
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.

- Roglic could not have won anyway, after Jonas followed him when Roglic decided it was his turn for a stage win. Jonas had already attacked Kuss twice, so it was Jonas who was within seconds of taking the lead before Kuss was 'gifted' the win. It felt a bit like Roglic was being thrown under the bus when the team made his unhappiness public.Hills3314-11-2026
- POG1, another nice doc about our favourite, I watched most of it with a big smile on my face (except for the bits about his crashes 😢 obvs!).Lozza14-11-2026
- Martinez had a good year! 5th at the Tour was a great result for him, albeit largely through getting in successful breaks, but he held it better than Pidcock who’d done the same.Lozza14-11-2026
- guess what Valgren, you're 34, and no you're not good enough. sorry to say.mij14-11-2026
- I'm a sepp fan and like to think he earned that LOL, indulge me : ) I think Jonas was fine. Roglic did not want to concede to Sepp. and I don't think you ever attack your own teammate in the leaders jersey if he is holding his own, which Sepp just about was.mij14-11-2026
- enough time? he's 24 years old. He's won 10 races over the last 2 years and some are significant. I won't argue about his attitude being good - it needs to improve. But with some coaching and mentorship he has a lot of winning ahead of him and has plenty of time to win a GT. I don't think he will ever beat Tadej, but everyone else is fair game Look at Mas and Valverde - they were 31 and 29, respectively, when they won the Vuelta.mij14-11-2026
- Pogacar has a fine head on his shoulders.Careful investments and a couple of coffee shops sounds like a wonderful way to chill after an intense career.Stay healthy GOAT.

- I live in Ljubljana and often go on trips in the surrounding area, where I frequently see young cyclists in 'Pogi Team' jerseys training, either alone or in groups. By simply motivating so many young people to take up cycling, Tadej has already achieved something truly significant.Velijo14-11-2026
- That's an excellent point. It's interesting that Vader came to that realization only after he learned that his contract wasn't going to be renewed.
