Lorena Wiebes scores hat-trick in the Tour of Poland
“It’s great to build confidence ahead of the Tour de France Femmes”
Lorena Wiebes won every stage of the Tour of Poland. The Dutch sprinter was also the fastest rider in the bunch in the final stage. Thanks to her three victories, Wiebes also claimed the overall classification. Team SD Worx-Protime additionally won the team classification of the Tour of Poland. “Three wins out of three is always nice. This was the ideal race to regain some race rhythm ahead of the Tour de France Femmes.”
Lorena Wiebes: “The start of the final stage was less hectic than yesterday. There were fewer attacks and it took quite a long time before a real breakaway was formed. After that, Lisa Van Belle and Marta Lach took control, and we had agreed that Femke Gerritse, Barbara Guarischi and Lotte Kopecky would focus entirely on the lead-out for the sprint. That worked well. The pace was high and we were able to finish it off nicely with such a strong lead-out.”
“The Tour of Poland was ideal for regaining race rhythm after my altitude training camp in preparation for the Tour de France. We are heading into the Tour with a lot of confidence, although the level of competition there is naturally higher and the course is a different story as well. This week, I'll put the finishing touches on my training to be ready for the start of the Tour.”
“Three victories from three stages is, of course, fantastic. It was also really nice to stand on the final podium with the team as the best team in the race. That was not something we specifically focused on beforehand, but a victory like that as a team is always special,” Wiebes concluded.

Race leader Lorena Wiebes ahead of stage 2 of @Tour_de_Pologne: "Our team was very strong yesterday. They put everything in order for a sprint. The timing for the lead-out was good, but unfortunately Marta Lach crashed on the slippery roundabout. I'm glad I could finish it off anyway & look forward to try to go for another win with Team SD Worx-Protime today."

Lorena Wiebes wins the first stage of Tour de Pologne, Barbara Guarischi finishes 2nd!🥇🥈
It was a dismantled sprint after a crash on the slippery final roundabout, hopefully all riders involved in the crash are okay! 🍀🤞

I just watched the first stage of the Women's Tour of Poland. What incredible skills did Lorena Wiebes show during that crash at the roundabout? She swerved to avoid the falling rider, jumped over the curb onto the grass, and then back onto the road—and went on to win the stage!!

Nach absolviertem Höhentrainingslager in den italienischen Alpen ist Lorena Wiebes morgen wieder zurück im Rennbetrieb: Bei der sprinterfreundlichen Tour de Pologne Women (24. bis 26. Juli) kann sie neben Etappenerfolgen auch den Gesamtsieg ins Visier nehmen.
Allez, Lorena! 🚀
Fast hätte die aktuelle Gravelmeisterin der Niederlande heute einen weiteren nationalen Titel geholt: Gratulation an Femke Markus zu Platz 2 im Straßenrennen! 👏
Lorena Wiebes, die Sechste wurde, verlor leider ihr 🇳🇱👕, aber das Teamtrikot von SD Worx steht ihr ja auch super! 😉
@torres_138 Aus Deutschland ist es glaube ich gar nicht live verfolgbar. Da ich es morgen eh nicht sehen kann, habe ich mich auch nicht weiter damit beschäftigt. Sorry!
Sonntag findet das Straßenrennen der Frauen bei den niederländischen Meisterschaften statt. Mit Titelverteidigerin Lorena Wiebes (sicherlich Plan A), Mischa Bredewold und Anna van der Breggen hat SD Worx drei heiße Eisen für den Gewinn des 🇳🇱👕 im Feuer.
Viel Erfolg, Mädels! 💪
