Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) edged out Fleur Moors (Lidl-Trek) to take the victory at Dwars door het Hageland on Saturday. The European champion launched the sprint first from a select group on the wet cobbles of Citadel of Diest, the stiff climb with double-digit gradients, to claim her tenth victory of the season.
After suffering a mechanical on the penultimate climb, Wiebes reacted quickly by jumping onto a teammate’s smaller bike, the one she raced all the way to the finish line.
