In the fifth stage of the Simac Ladies Tour, Lorena Wiebes secured her fourth win in a row for Team SD Worx-Protime. The Dutch rider sprinted to victory ahead of Elisa Balsamo. However, Lotte Kopecky crashed hard in the final. ‘I have mostly mixed feelings. Of course I am happy with this sprint victory, but it is a big pity that Lotte Kopecky fell,’ Wiebes reacted.

Lorena Wiebes: ‘I mainly have a double feeling. I heard through my earpiece that Lotte Kopecky was there. That sucks. With a peloton that swings from left to right, a crash happens quickly. I briefly got out of position myself, but quickly found my way back. Then I entered my sprint early and that was enough for victory. Actually, we had planned for Lotte to be in my wheel in the sprint so we could have sprinted for the bonus seconds. Unfortunately she was involved in the crash. Tomorrow is another day. We with Team SD Worx-Protime are not putting the general classification out of our minds just yet.’
