Biography:
Birthplace: Mijdrecht, Netherlands
Lorena Wiebes emerged as one of the fastest women in professional cycling while racing with the team Parkhotel Valkenburg team in 2018. A European champion as a junior, the Dutch rider excelled in her first season in the elites that year, winning a stage of the BeNe Ladies Tour and the points classification.
In 2019, Wiebes opened her season with a victory in the Nokere Koerse, then landed on the podium of Brugge-De Panne and Gent-Wevelgem before winning all three stages and the overall of the Tour of Chongming Island, her first WorldTour win. She won the European Games road race in 2019 then beat Marianne Vos to win the Dutch national championships road race.
After 22 wins in the season, Wiebes began looking for a way out of her contract with the lower-level team that ended up going to the courts. Wiebes and the team finally came to an agreement to keep her through 31 May 2020, at which time she was free to leave. She won the Omloop van het Hageland before racing stopped due to the coronavirus pandemic. On 1 June, she signed with Team Sunweb.
Wiebes was the winningest woman in both 2021 and 2022, amassing 13 wins and 23 victories, respectively, including taking the first stage win of the inaugural Tour de France Femmes and becoming the first woman in history to wear the maillot jaune.
She moved to Team SD Worx in 2023, signing a contract through 2025 and linking up with top riders Lotte Kopecky and Demi Vollering to dominate throughout the season. Wiebes won 13 races and helped her team to many more during 2023, winning stages of the Giro d'Italia Donne and Tour de France Femmes, and the Scheldeprijs, Ronde van Drenthe and Omloop van het Hageland.
