SD Worx-Protime sprinter wins in Blackpool to extend race lead
On Thursday, Lorena Wiebes triumphed in her second consecutive victory at the Lloyds Tour of Britain Women, with the stage two of the race put on hold for an hour due to a road traffic accident further up the route. The race commenced from Clitheroe to Blackpool and was later resumed with 66 kilometers remaining. Wiebes seized her winning kick with 250 meters to go, overtaking Maggie Coles-Lyster and Kim Le Court-Pienaar.
This victory brought her a 14-second lead over Chiara Consonni and Le Court-Pienaar in the general classification. The Dutch cyclist, who had previously won two stages of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, now faces an uphill challenge in stage three on the Great Orme.
