Lippert gets the best of Kopecky
Tour de France Femmes 2023 | Stage 2 | CLERMONT-FERRAND > MAURIAC

Rising through the ranks as one of the best puncheurs in the world, Liane Lippert (Movistar) showed the extent of her talent to power to the stage win on day 2 of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. After an explosive finale, the German national champion edged Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx) on the uphill sprint to Mauriac, with Silvia Persico (UAE Team ADQ) rounding out the podium of the stage. Kopecky retains the Maillot Jaune after her dominant performance in the opening stage. More hills await the riders on day 3 but the fast women believe the road to Montignac-Lascaux gives them a proper opportunity to try and control the race.

The temperature quickly rises with an uphill start that inspires attackers as soon as they leave Clermont-Ferrand. After several attempts, Georgia Williams (EF Education-Tibco-SVB) and Hannah Ludwig (Uno-X) manage to get away from the bunch at km 9. Meanwhile, many riders are dropped, including the likes of Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx) and Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma). The pace is too much for Amandine Fouquenet (Arkéa), who started despite a stomach problem and is forced to abandon. Lara Viecelli (Israel Premier Tech Roland) was a non-starter due to a similar problem according to her team.

Yara Kastelijn (Fenix-Deceuninck) sets off in pursuit but she’s reeled in at km 20. The situation settles, allowing the attackers to build a gap of one minute while the stragglers return to the bunch. Williams goes first atop the first two climbs of the day, the cat-4 ascents of Côte du Mont-Dore (km 42.6) and Côte de la Stèle (km 51). The following downhill allows the two leaders to increase their lead up to 1’35’’.

The race explodes
The peloton accelerates on the valley leading to the main climb of the day, the cat-2 Côte des Plaines (summit at km 105.1). Williams and Ludwig shake hands as the peloton get back to them after 88km together at the front. And more attackers light fireworks on the 4.5km climb (average gradient: 5.5%), quickly followed by the cat-4 ascent of Côte des Boissières (1.2km at 7.2%, summit at km 108.4).
Julie Van de Velde leads the way to the first summit, ahead of her Fenix-Deceuninck teammate Yara Kastelijn. The bunch explodes due to the pace and to a crash involving Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar) and Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek). They both quickly get back on their bike while Kastelijn goes solo on the climb up Côte des Boissières.

And in the end, a German wins
Eva van Agt (Jumbo Visma) and Anouska Koster (Uno X) join Kastelijn at the front to enter the final lap (36.7km) with a lead of 40’’ to the bunch. Kastelijn also dominates the cat-4 Côte de Merlhac (km 128.6). She leads the QOM standings with a total of 7 points.
The three attackers enter the last 20 kilometres with a gap of 45’’. Kastelijn is dropped by her two breakaway rivals as she misses a turn with 10km to go. And Van Agt crashes with 6km to go. Koster and Kastelijn are eventually reeled in with 4km to go.

The likes of Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon//Sram), Juliette Labous (DSM-Firmenich), Marlen Reusser (SD Worx) and Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek) all try to get away on the final slopes of the stage but it comes down to an uphill sprint in Mauriac. Demi Vollering (SD Worx) leads out Lotte Kopecky but Liane Lippert (Movistar) goes past the Belgian icon right before the line.

Irrepressible Kopecky, irresistible SD Worx
Tour de France Femmes 2023 | Stage 1 | CLERMONT-FERRAND > CLERMONT-FERRAND

Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx) wrote another beautiful chapter of her already stellar career as she powered to the Maillot Jaune on the first stage of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift 2023. The Belgian icon, wearing her national champion jersey, dropped everyone with a strong attack on the final climb of the day, into the last 10 kilometres to go to Clermont-Ferrand. She pushed all the way to the line to take a spectacular solo victory with a gap of 41’’ to her first chasers, with her teammate Lorena Wiebes and DSM-Firmenich’s Charlotte Kool completing the stage top 3. Kopecky takes her 11th win this season. And her first on the roads of the Tour.

The 154-woman peloton sets off from Clermont-Ferrand at 12:15 to take on a 123.8km loop set to crown the first Maillot Jaune of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift 2023. Martina Alzini (Cofidis) is the first attacker of the race, at km 11. But the peloton doesn’t let her go.

Unsuccessful attacks
Marie Morgane Le Deunff (Arkéa) is the first attacker to open a gap, at km 18, only to be caught 6 km further. It’s then time for Typhaine Laurance (Lifeplus Wahoo) to lead the way from km 26 to 45, while Amandine Fouquenet (Arkéa) tries but fails to join her at the front. In the meantime, Mireia Benito (AG Insurance-Soudal Quick-Step) suffers a crash at km 27 and is forced to abandon.
The bunch rides together until tireless attacker Marta Lach (Ceratizit-WNT) sets off with 46 km to go. The former Polish national champion opens a gap of 50’’ but the bunch react and catch her ahead of the intermediate sprint in Saint-Hippolyte (26.7km to go).
Former world champion Lizzie Deignan (Lidl-Trek) goes first through the intermediate sprint. Yara Kastelijn (Fenix-Decuninck) tries to keep the momentum going after the line but everyone follows her.

Kopecky’s power
The rolling terrain and the pace are too much for many riders, including Elisa Balsamo. Her Lidl-Trek teammates try to control the finale alongside SD Worx, who up the ante with Marlen Reusser on the main climb of the day, Côte de Durtol (cat. 3), to be summited with 9.3km to go.
Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx) accelerates inside the last 5 kilometres. And nobody can follow her strong attack. She goes first at the summit and keeps pushing all the way to the line, building a gap of 41’’ at the finish. Lorena Wiebes dominates the sprint from the bunch to complete another 1-2 for SD Worx and confirm their dominance at the highest level of cycling.

Vollering is an absolute Queen

Demi Vollering (SD Worx) impressed again as she tamed the Mur de Huy and all the rivals standing in her way to victory in the 26th edition of La Flèche Wallonne Femmes. Already a winner of the Amstel Gold Race (on Sunday) and Liège-Bastogne-Liège (2021), the Oranje star completes her set of triumphs in the hilly Northern classics, following the tracks of her former teammate and now sports director Anna van der Breggen. Put under pressure by her rivals, especially Movistar and Trek-Segafredo, Vollering took matters in her own hands and set a brutal pace on the final ascents to rise to glory. She’s a hot favourite for Sunday, in line with her other successes this Spring (Strade Bianche and Dwars door Vlanderen) and the dominant displays of performance of her team.

A 139-woman peloton set off from Huy’s Grand-Place under the sun, at 8:35. Attackers quickly try to get away but it takes 43km for two riders to really open a gap, just before the first of three ascents up the Mur de Huy. Caroline Andersson (Liv Racing Teqfind) and Antri Christoforou (Human Powered Health) enjoy a lead of 1’10’’ but the gap decreases to 30’’ at the summit (km 52.8).

Van Vleuten’s early move
Rachel Neylan (Cofidis) and Ella Harris (Lifeplus Wahoo) counter-attack and bridge the gap after 60km of intense racing. Karin Soderqvist (Lifeplus Wahoo) but she’s reeled in by the bunch on the first ascent of the Côte d’Ereffe. Movistar and Canyon//Sram up the ante, already showing their will to shake the race, but SD Worx react for Demi Vollering.

The attackers are caught on the Côte de Cherave (km 84.4) and Annemiek van Vleuten’s Movistar accelerate again towards the second ascent of the Mur de Huy. And the Dutch icon, wearing the rainbow jersey, accelerates on the ascent. Only Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon//Sram), Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio (AG Insurance-Soudal Quick-Step) and Elisa Longo Borghini (Trek-Segafredo) accompany her at the front.

Spratt’s solo
SD Worx must react again. And Vollering herself pulls the bunch to get back to the attackers with 33km to go. But Trek-Segafredo maintain the pressure and Amanda Spratt goes solo with 32km to go.
Justine Ghekiere (AG Insurance-Soudal Quick-Step), Ricarda Bauernfeid (Canyon//Sram) and Erica Magnaldi (UAE Team ADQ) set off in pursuit. But Spratt is on for a one-woman-show. Atop the Côte d’Ereffe (18.4km to go), the chasers trial by 40’’ and the peloton by 1’05’’.

Vollering’s dominance
Movistar react to bring the gap down and Spratt is caught on the penultimate ascent of the day, Côte de Cherave, with 7km to go. Vollering sets a brutal pace on the ascent and only 10 riders can follow her into the last 5km.

The Oranje star is back at the front as she tackles the first slopes up the Mur de Huy. Into the last 400m, Liane Lippert (Movistar) and Mavi Garcia (Liv Racing Teqfind) are still with Vollering… But Anna van der Breggen’s successor surges to victory, the 13th for a Dutch rider in 26 editions of La Flèche Wallonne Femmes.

Jai Hindley knapp außerhalb der Top 10 beim Amstel Gold Race

Zum Auftakt der Ardennenkampagne stand heute das 252 km lange Amstel Gold Race zwischen Maastricht und Berg en Terblijt auf dem Programm. Mit 33 kurzen aber zum Teil anspruchsvollen Anstiegen, engen winkeligen Straßen und vielen Richtungswechseln versprach der niederländische Frühjahrsklassiker ein dynamisches Renngeschehen bis ins Ziel. Nach der ersten Überquerung des Caubergs konnte sich überraschend früh eine starke Gruppe um Pogačar absetzen. Mit weniger als 40 km bis zum Ziel versuchte Jai Hindley zusammen mit acht anderen Fahrern die Lücke zu schließen, aber an der Spitze des Rennens schüttelte Pogacar allmählich seine Fluchtgefährten ab und es wurde schnell klar, dass er nicht mehr einzuholen war. Bei der letzten Passage der Ziellinie hatte die Gruppe von Jai fast 2:30 Minuten Rückstand auf Pogačar und am Ende kämpfte die Gruppe um den Australier um den 6. Platz. Der letztjährige Giro Sieger belegte schließlich den 12. Platz bei seiner ersten Teilnahme an dem Amstel Gold Race.

Reaktionen im Ziel

„Die Bedingungen waren heute nicht ideal, aber wir sind als Team gut zusammen gefahren. Leider haben wir den entscheidenden Split von Pogačar verpasst und obwohl ich versucht habe, die Lücke zu schließen, war es am Ende einfach nicht möglich. Ich habe mich heute ziemlich gut gefühlt und versucht, noch das Beste aus dem Rennen zu machen, nachdem es klar wurde, dass der Sieger bereits feststand. Ehrlich gesagt war es ein bisschen enttäuschend, dass die Verfolgergruppe sich nicht einig war und nicht alle mitmachen wollten. Für meine erste Teilnahme an diesem Rennen war meine Leistung ziemlich solide, aber ich freue mich schon auf die hügeligeren Rennen in der kommenden Woche.“- Jai Hindley

„Wir hatten heute ziemlich schwierige Wetterbedingungen, was das Rennen besonders erschwert hat. Das Rennen explodierte, als sich die Gruppe um Pogačar absetzte, und leider waren wir nicht Teil dieser Attacke, was uns einiges an Schwung kostete. Die Idee war, Jai in der Ausreißergruppe zu haben, dann hätten wir um einen Platz unter den ersten fünf kämpfen können. Leider war das aber nicht der Fall. Er hat versucht, die Lücke zu schließen, und hat heute wirklich eine solide Leistung gezeigt. Insgesamt war unser Ergebnis nicht schlecht, obwohl wir uns mehr erhofft hatten. Man sieht, vor allem in Bezug auf den Renninstinkt können wir uns noch verbessern, um beim nächsten Mal besser abzuschneiden.“ – Enrico Gasparotto, Sportlicher Leiter
