Tour Femmes '26, Stage 5: Unchallenged

Despite one rider being up the road, Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) was unchallenged for the remaining sprint points available in Monsols.  Just as Mads Pedersen had done in the men's Tour, she got herself over the opening climbs of the day with the peloton just so she could grab these sprint points.  She had her teammate, Elena Cecchini on her wheel just to make sure no one tried to come around her.  On their wheels were Maeva Squiban (UAE Team L'IMAD) and the Women's World Champion Magdeleine Valliers (EF Education-Oatly).  I think this is the first time I have had the opportunity to paint her since she claim the title in Rwanda last fall.  The rainbow stripes look good on her!

Yorkshire 2019 - MIxed Relay: Bellisima

It was the Italian women that were the first to truly threaten the lead of the British.  As the trio of Elisa Longo Borghini, Elena Cecchini and Tatiana Guderzo approached the time check, it was clear that they were on a race winning time.  Unfortunately, fate intervened when Longo Borghini had a flat tire.  She was able to chase back onto her teammates, but it slowed them down so that they just missed over taking the British team.  That meant that they would just miss the podium as well.
