After the team time trial in the first stage of the Women’s Vuelta, the peloton had an appointment with the first stage in line. 106 kilometers long between Orihuela and Pila de La Horadada, the victory was decided in the sprint.
Under the sun, it’s Charlotte Kool (DSM) who was the fastest. The Dutch, 23, signs the 7th victory of her career. She imposes herself in front Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma) and the American Chloe Dygert (Canyon//SRAM). Your who can console themselves with the red jersey. She is one second ahead of Dygert and two seconds over her compatriot Femke Markus (SD Worx).
This Wednesday, the peloton will have a longer stage, 158 kilometers between Elche de la Sierra. A stage which should once more end in a sprint because it does not really present any difficulty. Be careful, however, of the strong winds that rage in the region.
The finish is scheduled for Sunday in Lagos de Covadonga at the end of the 7th stage. This is the first time that the Vuelta for women has been held over a week. It first started as a one-day race, then 3 then 4 and then 5 last year. Van Vleuten won the last two editions. Jolien D’Hoore won the one-day editions of 2016 and 2017.
