Lorena Wiebes stuns with hat-trick win on Tour of Britain Women stage four
SD-Worx-Protime rider takes her tenth Tour of Britain stage into Hay-on-Wye on a challenging day in Wales
Lorena Wiebes stunned the Tour of Britain Women competition with a hat-trick victory on Stage Four. This Welsh rider, from SD Worx-ProTime, had long been the standout performer in bunch sprints, but her triumph came after a grueling effort. On a challenging, hilly course through central Wales, Wiebes managed to stay in the race, joining a group of seven riders during the final push to Hay-on-Wye.
This group featured race leader Kim Le Court-Pienaar, who she overtook in the closing kilometers. Despite the AG Insurance-Soudal's Liane Lippert securing the second position, Wiebes maintained a commanding 24-second lead over Lippert, bringing her closer to her first WorldTour stage race victory. This win marks a historic milestone for African riders, as she becomes the third African athlete to achieve this feat.
The Tour of Britain Women will conclude on Sunday with a sprint stage in Leamington Spa, providing Wiebes with another chance to enhance her record.
