Her two-up break companion Mavi Garcia ( Ale BTC Ljubljana) came second after being dropped on an earlier climb and van Vleuten’s teammate Katrine Aalerud sprinted to third from a small group. Yesterday’s first stage was won by none other than Annemiek van Vleuten who took a solo victory despite crashing on a descent.
Wiebes’s teammate Leah Kirchmann took second and Maria Giulia Confalonieri of Ceratizit-WNT third. The 21-year-old Danish rider won both road stages - and subsequently the GC - after fellow sprinter Lorena Wiebes ( DSM) crashed out of the first stage after winning the prologue.

If you’re reading on CT and you like emails (nice ones only!) then you can subscribe to WCW and get the whole thing in your inbox as well. But fear not WCW reader, this is a Giro-free corner of cycling content. Maybe that’s exacerbated by the deafening fanfare of the Giro d’Italia that’s drowning out almost everything else in the cycling world this week (a good time to remind ourselves about Alfonsina Strada). No broken down cars this time but instead it’s been one of those weeks where my brain feels like it’s juddering to a halt at about 3pm every day - can I call a tow truck for that and do you reckon my insurance will cover it?Īlthough there’s lots of racing happening with Elsy Jacobs last week and Setmana Ciclista Valenciana this week it still feels like we’re in some kind of liminal space as we wait for the next round of the WWT.
