Stage 2 of the UAE Tour Women saw Lorena Wiebes take another win, taking one of the most dominant and impressive sprint victories one could imagine.
The day's breakaway was formed by Petra Stiasny, Magdalene Lind, Sonia Rossetti and Sara Luccon. The quartet did manage to build a gap of several minutes, but without wind and the pan-flat desert roads it would be impossible to stay away from the peloton with the work of Team SD Worx - ProTime.
The catch was made with 29 kilometers to go, and the peloton then slowed down fully. The speed remained very low until the final 3 kilometers, when teams began accelerating in the highway road. However despite having no technical features, there was a high-speed crash involving amongst others, Marlen Reusser and Alison Jackson.
The sprint then was chaotic, with Franziska Koch trying to surprise, but the German rider was caught into the sprint and then Lorena Wiebes rode to a victory that was beyond comfortable, as no-one even managed to catch her wheel when she launched her sprint. Chiara Consonni and Nienke Veenhoven finished second and third.
