Stage 4: Dominant Demi Vollering wins Vuelta a Burgos Feminas queen stage and overall

On the 12km finishing climb of Lagunas de Neila the Women's WorldTour leader Demi Vollering (SD Worx) dropped all her rivals and delivered a dominant victory on the queen stage, which also sealed the overall race win.

Stage 3: Lorena Wiebes sprints to victory

Lorena Wiebes bounced back from the previous stage's relegation to once again cross the line first, taking the uphill sprint in Aranda de Duero after late catch of the breakaway. 

Stage 2: Vollering declared winner after Wiebes relegated

SD Worx crossed the finish line in first and second on a wind-swept stage into Lerma, with Lorena Wiebes raising her arms in the air in triumph and Vollering crossing the line just behind her. However, race officials later relegated Wiebes for irregular sprinting, giving Vollering the stage win. Chloé Dygert moved up from third to second on the podium.

Stage 1: Lorena Wiebes fastest in bunch sprint

The opening stage was always going to be one for the faster finishers. Lorena Wiebes, who returns to racing after a one-month break, proved to be the fastest, winning the group sprint and taking the first leader's jersey.

Vuelta a Burgos 2023 - Contenders

Demi Vollering (SD Worx) lines up as the overwhelming favourite after finishing second overall at both La Vuelta Femenina and Itzulia Women.

Juliette Labous (Team DSM) returns as the defending champion. The Frenchwoman started the final day 15 seconds off the overall lead but then was the strongest of a breakaway that entered onto the slopes of the Lagunas de Neila. Although Vollering caught her and won the stage, Labous held on to finish second on the day and secured the overall title.

Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig hasn't raced since the Ardennes Classics and will line up as the main contender for FDJ-SUEZ.

The undulating terrain and finishing ascent of the Vuelta a Burgos are well-suited to a versatile rider like Silvia Persico (UAE Team ADQ).

There are also a series of sprinters out to play for stage wins, including Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx), Elisa Balsamo (Trek-Segafredo), and Chiara Consonni (UAE Team ADQ).
