Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) captures her third victory at the Ixina Leeuw-Oetingen, showcasing her climbing prowess with a decisive attack on the Zavelberg. The Dutch star pulls away in the final 3km, leaving Fleur Moors (Lidl-Trek) in her wake, who secures second place. Megan Jastrab (UAE Team ADQ) claims third, outpacing Ilse Pluimers (AG Insurance-Soudal) in a two-rider chase group.
Wiebes starts the race as the favorite but surprises with a bold move rather than a sprint finish. This win marks her first European victory of the season, following her dominance at the UAE Tour, signaling her strength ahead of upcoming Classics like Milan-San Remo and Gent-Wevelgem. The race spans 140km with 19 cobbled sectors and multiple climbs, adding to the day’s challenge.
