"We were in control all day long" - Lorena Wiebes repays her teammates efforts with sprint win at the Giro d'Italia Donne
CyclingSunday, 02 July 2023 at 15:41
Team SD Worx have been nothing short of incredible throughout the first half of the 2023 season and their successes continued on stage 3 of the Giro d'Italia Donne through Lorena Wiebes.
“I am very happy with the stage victory. The team worked hard. Elena Cecchini and Barbara Guarischi did a really good lead-out," said a delighted Wiebes in her post-stage interview. "We were a bit far away in the last kilometres, but I stayed with Barbara in her wheel and she pushed me off perfectly. She went into the last corner first, so I only had to sprint for 150 metres. We were in control all day long.”
After taking victory on a pair of Giro d'Italia Donne stages in 2021, this win marks Wiebes' third career success at the race. “I'm happy to be back here and win again. The Giro Donne is a very nice race to race in," she continued. “In the final I felt a bit of pressure, because I want to win for the team and my teammate.”

- Maybe Simon's close bond with his brother made his position untenable, for instance if Visma were planning an unwelcome surprise for UAE.Hills3310-01-2026
- You forgot the tax angle which says quite a lot about people who are already well set up. And he’s got rid of the money hasn’t he, or rather invested it long-term for his family, people who like money spend differently.Mistermaumau10-01-2026

Front24210-01-2026 - Knowing even less about Jonas than they do about Tadej, journalists seem determined to emphasise the differences between them. They all pepper their articles about Jonas with the words family, quiet and candid. Then they have to make Tadej sound the opposite. If Tadej started a family they would be confused.Hills3310-01-2026
- He hung on there, in the tour, hell either sink or swim, let's hope the latter!
