Paris Roubaix Femmes '26: We Need to Chase Now!

As the chasing peloton came off of another section of pave, Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) seemed to encourage those with her to help give chase for those up the road.  Her teammate, Blanka Vas was dropped so she was free to try and catch the leaders.  Her move was covered by the American Megan Jastrab (UAE Team ADQ) as Zoe Backstedt (Canyon/SRAM-zondacrypto) tried to join in the effort.  At a minute and a half disadvantage with a mere 26 kilometers to race, it was unlikely that they would ever see the leaders on course again.

Tour Femmes '25, Stage 8: Take Mine and Go!

Nienke Vinke (Picnic-PostNL) had a scare as the peloton rode across the valley floor before the final climb of the day.  Her team car was way back down the road when she got a flat tire.  Fortunately (and strategically) her teammate the American Megan Jastrab was right there.  The pair acted quickly with Jastrab giving her by to the Maillot Blanc and giving her a push to get going.  Jastrab then waited for the team car and got her spare bike.  Seemingly twenty minutes later, the Picnic-PostNL car was able to get up to the youngster and get her onto her own spare bike.  It was all worth the effort rather than lose time, the current best young rider was able to increase her advantage to over eight minutes today, due in part to her teammates quick thinking... and some excellent legs today.

Yorkshire 2019 - Jr Women's ITT: Finding Her Own Way

The American, Megan Jastrab, was able to catch the woman who started ahead of her, Natalia Krzeslak (Poland).  I took the arrows on the roadway to inform the title of this piece.  While the arrows point either straight ahead or a left turn, Jastrab was leaning in to turn right towards the finish line.  Later in the race, this image will be seen as fore shadowing.  As Jastrab crossed the line, she set the new best time and held on to a place on the podium until the last few women crossed the line.
