No one could match Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) as she sprinted to her second consecutive victory on stage 2 at the Tour of Britain Women on Thursday.

The overall race leader launched her sprint from 250 metres out and was largely uncontested as she crossed the line to take the win ahead of runner-up Maggie Coles-Lyster (Human Powered Health) and third-placed Kim Le Court-Pienaar (AG Insurance-Soudal Team) in Blackpool.

“I think tomorrow will be probably too hard of a finish for me. So, yeah, probably… I need to see after tomorrow how things are going. Because if I lose like one minute on the finish of tomorrow, then GC is not possible anymore. But I think in that case, Kim Le Court-Pienaar is the big favourite for tomorrow, and she also showed yesterday how strong she is.”
