The fifth and longest stage of the 2022 Tour de France Femmes came down to a final, frantic sprint, with Dutch cyclist Lorena Wiebes (Team DSM) out-lasting Italy’s Elisa Balsamo (Trek-Segafredo) and fellow Dutchwoman Marianne Vos (Team Jumbo Visma) to take the win.
Elisa Longo Borghini won a hilltop finish on Black Mountain to win stage five of the Women’s Tour in Carmarthenshire and set up a grandstand finale for the overall title in Oxford on Saturday.
After last year’s brutal first Paris-Roubaix for the women, anticipation had been high for the second edition. But in a tale of two Elisa’s, Italian national champion Longo Broghini grabbed a brilliant victory for Trek-Segafredo while her team mate Balsamo, the current world champion, was disqualified. So how did it go so right for one and so wrong for the other? Balsamo was one of the pre-race favourites.
Ellen van Dijk has admitted she is more excited about the Hour Record than Paris-Roubaix after crashing out of last year's race. Van Dijk was among the favourites to win Paris-Roubaix in 2021 but suffered a concussion that has left her anxious ahead of this year's edition. Ad/> And while she is part of a strong Trek-Segafredo line-up ahead of the second edition of Paris-Roubaix femmes, the 35-year-old said she is not as excited as last time around.
Elisa Balsamo (Trek-Segafredo) held off the late challenge of Marianne Vos (Jumbo Visma) in a bunch sprint to win the women’s race at Gent-Wevelgem. Maria Giulia Confalonieri (Ceratizit-WNT) came through in third to complete the podium. Ad/> It was Balsamo’s third win in a row having triumphed in the Trofeo Alfredo Binda and Classic Brugge-De Panne earlier in the month.
Dutch cyclist Ellen van Dijk was given a bizarre X-rated prize after a stage victory at the Bloeizone Fryslân Tour.
Ellen van Dijk (Trek — Segafredo) se ha impuesto en la contrarreloj de la primera etapa del Tour de Friesland. La ciclista neerlandesa ha completado el recorrido de 14.4 km en 18:34 minutos, siete segundos por delante de su compatriota Riejanne Markus (Jumbo-Visma) y a 25'' de la suiza Marlen Reusser (SD Worx). Mucha autoridad y maillot de líder de la prueba.
There were some shocking moments during the opening time trial stage at the Bloeizone Fryslan Tour on Thursday as riders dodged a van and amateur cyclists. Both Letizia Paternoster and Britain's Alice Barnes were surprised by less-than-ideal obstacles on the roads in what seemed farcical scenes at times on the 14.4km route.
