Off the back of two brilliant recent wins, Team DSM’s Women’s program made it an exceptional three in a row at Nokere Koerse this afternoon as Lorena Wiebes surged to victory on the uphill cobbled finale.
Taking charge of the day early on, the team worked well as a group to make sure that no dangerous moves went clear. Bad luck struck the team after nervousness in the bunch saw several crashes, but the team regrouped as well as possible with Charlotte Kool and Wiebes making it into reduced front group. Heading into the finale Kool expertly marked the attacks, before helping Wiebes claim her spot towards the front of the peloton. Adeptly keeping a cool head under pressure, Wiebes, buoyed by recent performances timed the moment to launch her sprint masterfully. Delivering a devastating kick on the Nokereberg and surging clear of the peloton, Wiebes had an abundance of time to raise her arms aloft, celebrating another brilliant Team DSM win.
