Dutch cyclist Lorena Wiebes claimed victory on stage three of the Women's Tour of Britain to hand Team SD Worx-Protime a third consecutive win.
Charlotte Kool, of Team dsm-firmenich PostNL, was her closest challenger but Wiebes had enough power to hold off her compatriot and win by a bike length."It was a really fast finish, and I was like, ‘oh, it’s only 200 metres to go’, so I started my sprint, and I was happy to deliver for the team," said Wiebes.
British pair Jo Tindley, of Pro-Noctis-200° Coffee-Hargreaves Contracting, and Lifeplus-Wahoo's Maddie Leech led a breakaway four kilometres into the race, opening up a four minute lead.
