Mathew Mitchell@procyclinguk.com · 11mo agoLorena Wiebes wins Stage 2 of the 2025 Simac Ladies Tour - a day of crosswinds and splits doesn't dislodge the big favourite at the crucial moments Absolutely horrible coverage of the sprint with the pause in the video coming through live... #SLT2025

Lorena Wiebes wins the opening stage of the 2025 Simac Ladies Tour! The predicted outcome but Lidl-Trek rolled the dice today with rolling attacks to thin out the SD Worx train successfully but she's still too strong #SLT2025
Comfortable win for Elisa Longo Borghini at Kreizh Breizh Elites this year - UAE Team ADQ bossed the race, working over Margaux Vigie in the process (skipping on the original stream here) #KBE2025
Lorena Wiebes wins the 2025 edition of GP Lucien van Impe - it's the 17th win of the season for her Quinty Schoens did the big solo break of the day, but was caught with plenty of time to go. From there, SD Worx managed the effort and attacks #GPLucienvanImpe
Martina Alzini wins the 2025 Egmont Cycling Race! Great effort from Sigrid Ytterhus Haugset today - only caught in the final metres. She missed 2 months of the season in fracturing her hip at Roubaix #EgmontCyclingRace
Chiara Consonni wins the 3rd & final stage of the 2025 Tour de Pologne Women! She also wins the GC too! Heartbreak for Anne Knijnenburg, who attacked with 69km to go and was caught in the final 500 metres or so by the bunch #TdPW2025
Linda Zanetti takes the win on Stage 2 of the 2025 Tour de Pologne Women - the cobbled finish kept the speeds down and made it a real power effort to get to the line! Marie Le Net strong with 2nd here as well, ahead of Bertizzolo #TdPW2025

Pauline Ferrand-Prévot seals the 2025 Tour de France Femmes with another stage win in Châtel She becomes the first rider in Bernard Hinault in 1981 to win Paris Roubaix and the Tour de France in the same season - Octave Lapize (1910) & Louis Trousselier (1905) the only others!
Chloe Dygert with the mental maths to sneak home around 10-11 seconds before the OTL kicks in - she'll be able to race tomorrow's final Tour de France Femmes stage Susanne Andersen is the only OTL today, the Norwegian was dropped fairly early on the first climb today
Remember when Pauline Ferrand-Prévot rode for Ineos and they still didn't make a proper women's team? Add it to the list of near-misses in this era...
Mathew Mitchell@procyclinguk.com · last yr.Pauline Ferrand-Prévot looks set to be the first 🇫🇷 winner of the Tour de France Femmes since either Catherine Marsal in 1990 (ASO-era) or Jeannie Longo in 1989 (Tour de France-era) Still a day to go but this performance is an absolute smashing of last year's podium finishers

Maeva Squiban doubles up with another stage win! Delivered in a similar way to yesterday - get in the break, attack it at the right moment and drop down to the finish alone Great ride once more for someone who's been on the radar for a long time
Maeva Squiban takes the biggest win of her career so far! Previously a winner at Tour de l'Ardeche and the Vuelta Extremadura Feminas - she was 2nd on a stage last year, a long way behind Justine Ghekiere Squibber is just the 2nd 🇫🇷 stage winner since the race was rebooted
Demi Vollering pushed Kim Le Court all the way to the line after she celebrated slightly early - Vollering has experience in posting up too early and made it very close! #TDFF2025
Kim Le Court wins Stage 5 of the 2025 Tour de France Femmes! That late climb and boni seconds point caused some fun chaos as the GC battle kicked off in earnest with the descent to the finish line Le Court goes back into the yellow jersey with that ride!
Ellen van Dijk just announced her retirement at the end of this season. She is a guest in the Dutch cycling talkshow "De Avondetappe".
Lorena Wiebes beats Marianne Vos once again into Poitiers - Vos comfortably secures another day in yellow tomorrow Behind them it's Lara Gillespie and Eline Jansen taking 3rd and 4th - great results for them, with Jansen in particular on her 3rd top-10 of the 2025 Tour de France Femmes so far!
Marianne Vos is back in yellow again after finishing 2nd - Kim le Court got caught up in the crash (but don't think went down) making it academic even without the bonus seconds
Lorena Wiebes takes her expected stage win but people won't be fussed about that today in the end Marianne Vos is back in yellow and everyone will be waiting to see how Demi Vollering and the other crashed riders are feeling after today 🤞
MAVI GARCIA! The Spanish rider rolled the dice and took a nice surprise win into Quimper ahead of the GC riders and Wiebes sprinting Helped a little by the big names looking around and not wanting to lose time - Garcia attacked and stayed clear! #TDFF2025
