Olympic speed skater Sandrine Tas (Lotto Intermarché) stormed to her third professional cycling victory on stage 1 of the 2026 Eneco Tour Women, beating Charlotte Kool (Fenix-Premier Tech) with a powerful sprint in Ede on Wednesday.

Kool threw her hands in the air and complained as she crossed the line, after trying to sprint from the wheel of Barbara Guarischi (SD Worx-ProTime) but getting squeezed by the Italian towards the barriers, and having to restart her final effort.
