finish of Lagunas de Neila.<\/p>\n<p>15 seconds later, \u00c9vita Muzic (FDJ United-Suez) finished second on the stage and with it the overall. Usoa Ostolaza (Laboral Kutxa-Fundaci\u00f3n Euskadi) crossed the line 24 seconds back to take both third place on the stage and on GC.<\/p>\n<p>Muzic had set a hard pace on the steepest part of the climb, riding everyone but Kastelijn off her wheel. Kastelijn then attacked 1.3km from the finish to leave Muzic behind and solo away to victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMuzic set a really high pace and I just tried to follow. I did the same last week in Itzulia with Niedermaier. I waited until two to go, it was not flat, but it was a bit less steep. Then I could go with more speed. When I had a gap, it was just full gas to the finish,\u201d said Kastelijn.<\/p>\n<p>Winless since a stage victory in the 2023 Tour de France Femmes, this is Kastelijn\u2019s first Women\u2019s WorldTour GC victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt really strong already last week and also yesterday and today. It was a long time ago that I won a race, so I really, really wanted it. I was super close last week, that was extra motivation to take the win today. I really love to be in Spain, luckily, the weather is a bit better than the last weeks. I\u2019m happy to take the victory home,\u201d Kastelijn said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-080b6696-16cf-45bf-ae72-4cb051cf0585\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/78A263x83wpAjJvUPtUCXG-1024-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/78A263x83wpAjJvUPtUCXG-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/78A263x83wpAjJvUPtUCXG-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/78A263x83wpAjJvUPtUCXG-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/78A263x83wpAjJvUPtUCXG-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/78A263x83wpAjJvUPtUCXG-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Vuelta a Burgos F\u00e9minas stage 4: Evita Muzic and overall winner Yara Kastelijn duelling on the final climb of Lagunas de Neila <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"how-it-unfolded-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">How it unfolded<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-41972a47-6ee1-4989-aa81-f60275dd2062\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Ending in a 6km climb at an average 9.9%, the final stage of 120km was always going to decide the general classification.<\/p>\n<p>Sara Mart\u00edn (Movistar) attacked 12km after the start in Gumiel de Mercado and quickly built an advantage of several minutes. Federica Venturelli (UAE Team ADQ) started a solo chase after 20km, reaching Mart\u00edn with 83km to go. Their gap went up to a maximum of 6:40 minutes 70km from the finish before the peloton slowly stepped up the chase.<\/p>\n<p>At the intermediate sprint in Huerta de Abajo with 27.5km to go, Mart\u00edn and Venturelli were still 2:46 minutes ahead. Mart\u00edn then dropped Venturelli on the Alto de Tolba\u00f1os climb where Rosita Reijnhout (Visma-Lease a Bike) and Titia Ryo (Human Powered Health) attacked from the peloton.<\/p>\n<p>Mart\u00edn crested the climb 43 seconds up on Ryo and Reijnhout who then caught Venturelli on the descent. The peloton was still 1:15 minutes behind. On the unclassified Collado de Huerta, Venturelli was caught by the peloton who also reeled in Ryo, Reijnhout, and finally Mart\u00edn on the descent, resetting the race with 7.2km to go.<\/p>\n<p>Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) led the peloton on the climb, then Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) did one last turn before Millie Couzens (Fenix-Premier Tech) and Ma\u00ebva Squiban (UAE Team ADQ) took over.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-503f9532-9d40-4288-8bb4-c897776ff913\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/j9P27cEGBBLVbRkpThREib-1024-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/j9P27cEGBBLVbRkpThREib-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/j9P27cEGBBLVbRkpThREib-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/j9P27cEGBBLVbRkpThREib-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/j9P27cEGBBLVbRkpThREib-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/j9P27cEGBBLVbRkpThREib-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">2026 Vuelta a Burgos F\u00e9minas stage 4: Yara Kastelijn en route to victory <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-52c82476-2e83-4e3a-b8c0-0f7e32b9e1e1\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Amber Kraak (FDJ United-Suez) came to the front at the 5km mark to set the pace; when she swung off 4.3km from the finish, only Muzic, Kastelijn, Ostolaza, Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio, Mireia Benito (both AG Insurance-Soudal), Amanda Spratt, Shirin van Anrooij (both Lidl-Trek), C\u00e9drine Kerbaol, Alice Towers (both EF Education-Oatly), Mischa Bredewold (SD Worx-Protime), Maud Oudeman, Katharina Sadnik (both Visma-Lease a Bike), and Squiban were left in the first group.<\/p>\n<p>With 4.2km to go, Moolman-Pasio led the group into the steepest part of the climb, 2.2km at an average 12.2%, but Muzic quickly took the front, and her pace blew the group apart, with only Kastelijn able to keep up with the Frenchwoman.<\/p>\n<p>Muzic continued to lead Kastelijn up the climb while the riders behind them slowly came together to form a second group that included Moolman-Pasio, Van Anrooij, Kerbaol, Oudeman, Bredewold and Spratt.

finish of Lagunas de Neila.<\/p>\n<p>15 seconds later, \u00c9vita Muzic (FDJ United-Suez) finished second on the stage and with it the overall. Usoa Ostolaza (Laboral Kutxa-Fundaci\u00f3n Euskadi) crossed the line 24 seconds back to take both third place on the stage and on GC.<\/p>\n<p>Muzic had set a hard pace on the steepest part of the climb, riding everyone but Kastelijn off her wheel. Kastelijn then attacked 1.3km from the finish to leave Muzic behind and solo away to victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMuzic set a really high pace and I just tried to follow. I did the same last week in Itzulia with Niedermaier. I waited until two to go, it was not flat, but it was a bit less steep. Then I could go with more speed. When I had a gap, it was just full gas to the finish,\u201d said Kastelijn.<\/p>\n<p>Winless since a stage victory in the 2023 Tour de France Femmes, this is Kastelijn\u2019s first Women\u2019s WorldTour GC victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt really strong already last week and also yesterday and today. It was a long time ago that I won a race, so I really, really wanted it. I was super close last week, that was extra motivation to take the win today. I really love to be in Spain, luckily, the weather is a bit better than the last weeks. I\u2019m happy to take the victory home,\u201d Kastelijn said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-080b6696-16cf-45bf-ae72-4cb051cf0585\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/78A263x83wpAjJvUPtUCXG-1024-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/78A263x83wpAjJvUPtUCXG-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/78A263x83wpAjJvUPtUCXG-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/78A263x83wpAjJvUPtUCXG-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/78A263x83wpAjJvUPtUCXG-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/78A263x83wpAjJvUPtUCXG-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Vuelta a Burgos F\u00e9minas stage 4: Evita Muzic and overall winner Yara Kastelijn duelling on the final climb of Lagunas de Neila <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"how-it-unfolded-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">How it unfolded<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-41972a47-6ee1-4989-aa81-f60275dd2062\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Ending in a 6km climb at an average 9.9%, the final stage of 120km was always going to decide the general classification.<\/p>\n<p>Sara Mart\u00edn (Movistar) attacked 12km after the start in Gumiel de Mercado and quickly built an advantage of several minutes. Federica Venturelli (UAE Team ADQ) started a solo chase after 20km, reaching Mart\u00edn with 83km to go. Their gap went up to a maximum of 6:40 minutes 70km from the finish before the peloton slowly stepped up the chase.<\/p>\n<p>At the intermediate sprint in Huerta de Abajo with 27.5km to go, Mart\u00edn and Venturelli were still 2:46 minutes ahead. Mart\u00edn then dropped Venturelli on the Alto de Tolba\u00f1os climb where Rosita Reijnhout (Visma-Lease a Bike) and Titia Ryo (Human Powered Health) attacked from the peloton.<\/p>\n<p>Mart\u00edn crested the climb 43 seconds up on Ryo and Reijnhout who then caught Venturelli on the descent. The peloton was still 1:15 minutes behind. On the unclassified Collado de Huerta, Venturelli was caught by the peloton who also reeled in Ryo, Reijnhout, and finally Mart\u00edn on the descent, resetting the race with 7.2km to go.<\/p>\n<p>Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) led the peloton on the climb, then Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) did one last turn before Millie Couzens (Fenix-Premier Tech) and Ma\u00ebva Squiban (UAE Team ADQ) took over.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-503f9532-9d40-4288-8bb4-c897776ff913\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/j9P27cEGBBLVbRkpThREib-1024-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/j9P27cEGBBLVbRkpThREib-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/j9P27cEGBBLVbRkpThREib-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/j9P27cEGBBLVbRkpThREib-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/j9P27cEGBBLVbRkpThREib-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/j9P27cEGBBLVbRkpThREib-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">2026 Vuelta a Burgos F\u00e9minas stage 4: Yara Kastelijn en route to victory <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-52c82476-2e83-4e3a-b8c0-0f7e32b9e1e1\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Amber Kraak (FDJ United-Suez) came to the front at the 5km mark to set the pace; when she swung off 4.3km from the finish, only Muzic, Kastelijn, Ostolaza, Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio, Mireia Benito (both AG Insurance-Soudal), Amanda Spratt, Shirin van Anrooij (both Lidl-Trek), C\u00e9drine Kerbaol, Alice Towers (both EF Education-Oatly), Mischa Bredewold (SD Worx-Protime), Maud Oudeman, Katharina Sadnik (both Visma-Lease a Bike), and Squiban were left in the first group.<\/p>\n<p>With 4.2km to go, Moolman-Pasio led the group into the steepest part of the climb, 2.2km at an average 12.2%, but Muzic quickly took the front, and her pace blew the group apart, with only Kastelijn able to keep up with the Frenchwoman.<\/p>\n<p>Muzic continued to lead Kastelijn up the climb while the riders behind them slowly came together to form a second group that included Moolman-Pasio, Van Anrooij, Kerbaol, Oudeman, Bredewold and Spratt.

Usoa Ostolaza (Laboral Kutxa-Fundaci\u00f3n Euskadi) crossed the line 24 seconds back to take both third place on the stage and on GC.<\/p>\n<p>Muzic had set a hard pace on the steepest part of the climb, riding everyone but Kastelijn off her wheel. Kastelijn then attacked 1.3km from the finish to leave Muzic behind and solo away to victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMuzic set a really high pace and I just tried to follow. I did the same last week in Itzulia with Niedermaier. I waited until two to go, it was not flat, but it was a bit less steep. Then I could go with more speed. When I had a gap, it was just full gas to the finish,\u201d said Kastelijn.<\/p>\n<p>Winless since a stage victory in the 2023 Tour de France Femmes, this is Kastelijn\u2019s first Women\u2019s WorldTour GC victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt really strong already last week and also yesterday and today. It was a long time ago that I won a race, so I really, really wanted it. I was super close last week, that was extra motivation to take the win today. I really love to be in Spain, luckily, the weather is a bit better than the last weeks. I\u2019m happy to take the victory home,\u201d Kastelijn said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-080b6696-16cf-45bf-ae72-4cb051cf0585\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/78A263x83wpAjJvUPtUCXG-1024-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/78A263x83wpAjJvUPtUCXG-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/78A263x83wpAjJvUPtUCXG-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/78A263x83wpAjJvUPtUCXG-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/78A263x83wpAjJvUPtUCXG-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/78A263x83wpAjJvUPtUCXG-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Vuelta a Burgos F\u00e9minas stage 4: Evita Muzic and overall winner Yara Kastelijn duelling on the final climb of Lagunas de Neila <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"how-it-unfolded-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">How it unfolded<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-41972a47-6ee1-4989-aa81-f60275dd2062\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Ending in a 6km climb at an average 9.9%, the final stage of 120km was always going to decide the general classification.<\/p>\n<p>Sara Mart\u00edn (Movistar) attacked 12km after the start in Gumiel de Mercado and quickly built an advantage of several minutes.

The peloton was still 1:15 minutes behind. On the unclassified Collado de Huerta, Venturelli was caught by the peloton who also reeled in Ryo, Reijnhout, and finally Mart\u00edn on the descent, resetting the race with 7.2km to go.<\/p>\n<p>Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) led the peloton on the climb, then Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) did one last turn before Millie Couzens (Fenix-Premier Tech) and Ma\u00ebva Squiban (UAE Team ADQ) took over.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-503f9532-9d40-4288-8bb4-c897776ff913\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/j9P27cEGBBLVbRkpThREib-1024-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/j9P27cEGBBLVbRkpThREib-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/j9P27cEGBBLVbRkpThREib-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/j9P27cEGBBLVbRkpThREib-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/j9P27cEGBBLVbRkpThREib-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/j9P27cEGBBLVbRkpThREib-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">2026 Vuelta a Burgos F\u00e9minas stage 4: Yara Kastelijn en route to victory <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-52c82476-2e83-4e3a-b8c0-0f7e32b9e1e1\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Amber Kraak (FDJ United-Suez) came to the front at the 5km mark to set the pace; when she swung off 4.3km from the finish, only Muzic, Kastelijn, Ostolaza, Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio, Mireia Benito (both AG Insurance-Soudal), Amanda Spratt, Shirin van Anrooij (both Lidl-Trek), C\u00e9drine Kerbaol, Alice Towers (both EF Education-Oatly), Mischa Bredewold (SD Worx-Protime), Maud Oudeman, Katharina Sadnik (both Visma-Lease a Bike), and Squiban were left in the first group.<\/p>\n<p>With 4.2km to go, Moolman-Pasio led the group into the steepest part of the climb, 2.2km at an average 12.2%, but Muzic quickly took the front, and her pace blew the group apart, with only Kastelijn able to keep up with the Frenchwoman.<\/p>\n<p>Muzic continued to lead Kastelijn up the climb while the riders behind them slowly came together to form a second group that included Moolman-Pasio, Van Anrooij, Kerbaol, Oudeman, Bredewold and Spratt.
