Unbeatable sprinter Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) completed her clean sweep of stage victories on stage 3 of the Tour of Chongming Island on Sunday to also seal overall victory in the final Women's WorldTour race of the season.
With every day in China pan-flat, every stage has culminated in a bunch sprint, and every stage has seen Wiebes beat Lara Gillespie (UAE Team L'IMAD) to the line, and the final stage was no different.
Once again, it was a relatively close-run sprint by Wiebes' standards, but she powered to the line just ahead of Gillespie to make it three from three.
Traditionally, the Women's WorldTour would have one more event in China, the season-closing Tour of Guangxi, but the one-day race has been cancelled for 2026, meaning that Sunday wrapped up this year of top-level racing.
