Simac Ladies Tour 2025: Lorena Wiebes Secures Fourth Consecutive Win
In the fourth stage of the Simac Ladies Tour 2025, Lorena Wiebes (Team SD Worx-Protime) claimed victory, extending her lead in the overall general classification. The 125.8km stage from Alkmaar saw a tight-knit peloton that prevented any major breakaways, but Wiebes managed to secure a 10-second time bonus from her sprint win.
The race began with a major crash immediately after the start, affecting nearly a dozen riders and forcing the abandon of India Grainger (Team Coop-Repsol). Despite this setback, the peloton maintained a steady pace throughout the stage. Maud Rijnbeek (VolkerWessels Cycling Team) launched a short attack within the final 15km, but the sprint teams were too focused on controlling the race.
As the finish line approached, Letizia Paternoster (Liv-AlUla-Jayco) initiated the sprint, and Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) made a significant sprint acceleration in the final 500m. However, it was Wiebes who made the decisive move, securing her victory and marking her 114th career win.
Chiara Consonni (Canyon//SRAM Zondacrypto) finished in a close second place, and Shari Bossuyt (AG Insurance-Soudal Team) in third. The full stage results are as follows:
- Lorena Wiebes (Team SD Worx-Protime)
- Chiara Consonni (Canyon//SRAM Zondacrypto)
- Shari Bossuyt (AG Insurance-Soudal Team)
- Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek)
- Marta Bastianelli (Liv-AlUla-Jayco)

- Lotte Kopecky (Ceratizit-WNT Pro Cycling)
- Marta Cavalli (FDJ Nouvelle-Aquitaine Futuroscope)
- Marlen Reusser (AlΓ© BTC Ljubljana)
- Demi Vollering (Team SD Worx-Protime)
With this win, Wiebes now leads the overall general classification by 30 seconds over Megan Jastrab (Picnic-PostNL). The leader in the overall classification of the Simac Ladies Tour 2025 after the completion of the 4th stage is Demi Vollering.
