With her second stage victory in as many days, Lorena Wiebes (Team DSM) has made her mark as the dominant sprinter at The Women’s Tour. After winning stage 4 to Southend-on-Sea, the 22-year-old Dutch sprinter was victorious again on stage 5 to Clacton-on-Sea. 

The stage was dominated by the solo breakaway of Hayley Simmonds (CAMS-Basso Bikes), but Wiebes’ team was never worried, and she will try again for a third win as the race comes to a close on stage 6 on Saturday.
