Niamh Fisher-Black could hardly believe her own performance during stage 3 where she pulled on three leader's jerseys – the overall, mountains and best young rider classifications – all with just one final stage remaining at the Women's WorldTour Vuelta a Burgos Feminas.

In the end, it was her veteran teammate and double world champion Anna van der Breggen who secured the overall title after winning stage 4 atop Lagunas de Neila. However, Fisher-Black's consistent performances during the four-day race, combined with her overall win in the youth classification, showed that she is developing into a big talent at SD Worx.
