Tears at the Amstel Gold Race Ladies Edition. Lorena Wiebes seemed to be on her way to winning the Dutch classic for a long time, but cheered too early and saw compatriot Marianne Vos pass her. Demi Vollering supported her teammate.
“She will be much more eager to start here next year,” said Lotte Kopecky’s Dutch teammate Cycling flash. “I saw how disappointed she is. The only thing you can do is stay with her for a while.”
“It’s just really disappointing, of course. All we can say is that she is doing great and that she will win here one day. I know that for sure. If you see what kind of growth she has gone through – already – then she should try to focus on that. She knows she can sprint for the win with this. It’s really sad to lose like that, of course, but it will happen.”
