Copenhagen Sprint in convincing fashion ahead of Charlotte Kool (Fenix-Premier Tech) and Nienke Veenhoven (Visma-Lease a Bike).<\/p>\n<p>The early breakaway never had a gap of more than 1:46 minutes and was reeled in before the finishing circuit. Silje Antvorskov (Danish national team) lit up the final with a solo attack but was caught with 14.5km to go, and from there on, the sprint trains took over.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-9b5fe8e2-844f-42ce-8646-d3d4719f3a79-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Wiebes launched her sprint off the wheel of Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) 250 metres from the line, and nobody had any reply to her acceleration. As the Dutch champion pulled several bike lengths ahead, Kool edged out Veenhoven in the sprint for second place.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;jYDCcabO&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;X9\/mXVGac0NphghLH9hZaqWA5d3dhAM\/Ih07grnEyMLjuO2E&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnDesktop&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnMobile&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnTablet&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header>\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand inline-flex items-center\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/gmvwmhupgi1715762145.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] block h-[18px] w-auto shrink-0 brightness-0 invert\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"aspect-video w-full min-h-[200px] lg:min-h-[330px] relative overflow-hidden bg-black\" data-jwp-carousel-container>\n<div class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full items-center justify-center bg-white\" data-jwp-carousel-fallback><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/gmvwmhupgi1715762145.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] max-h-12 w-auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"min-h-[44px] bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting><a class=\"invisible block truncate text-sm font-bold leading-5 text-white underline decoration-solid underline-offset-2\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting-link href target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-jwp-carousel-signposting-title>Watch full video here: <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\u201cI\u2019m really happy.

She was 23 seconds behind when crossing the finish line with one lap remaining, but made her way back and was then piloted to the front by her team.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">In the final kilometres, the various sprint trains jostled for position, and in the end, it was Lucinda Brand (Lidl-Trek) who led the peloton onto the final kilometre and through the last turn onto the finishing straight with her teammates Clara Copponi and Balsamo on her wheel. Millie Couzens (Fenix-Premier Tech) brought Kool alongside, but when the British champion swung off, Wiebes launched her sprint and pulled ahead to win.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-a009b07a-d28a-4cba-acb7-1faa80ff1a1b\" 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\/jyouACtcqn9DDBBtfxXw6-1024-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jyouACtcqn9DDBBtfxXw6-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jyouACtcqn9DDBBtfxXw6-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jyouACtcqn9DDBBtfxXw6-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jyouACtcqn9DDBBtfxXw6-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jyouACtcqn9DDBBtfxXw6-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The bunch sprint at the Copenhagen Sprint <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section kiosq-b\" id=\"section-results\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span>Results<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"elk-209d27c9-87ce-4d38-9db0-fc6be387404e\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><em><strong>Results powered by <\/strong><\/em><em><strong>FirstCycling<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"slice-container-authorBio-e5EeKXeB5g57Wi9CVUeFug\" class=\"slice-container slice-author-bio authorBio-e5EeKXeB5g57Wi9CVUeFug slice-container-authorBio\">\n<div class=\"author author__default-layout author--separator author--collapsible\" data-hydrate=\"true\">\n<div class=\"author__header\">\n<div class=\"author__heading\">\n<div class=\"author__name\">Lukas Kn\u00f6fler<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author__bio-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"author__biography\">\n<p>Lukas\u00a0Kn\u00f6fler started working in cycling communications in 2013 and has seen the inside of the scene from many angles.

Copenhagen Sprint in convincing fashion ahead of Charlotte Kool (Fenix-Premier Tech) and Nienke Veenhoven (Visma-Lease a Bike).<\/p>\n<p>The early breakaway never had a gap of more than 1:46 minutes and was reeled in before the finishing circuit. Silje Antvorskov (Danish national team) lit up the final with a solo attack but was caught with 14.5km to go, and from there on, the sprint trains took over.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-9b5fe8e2-844f-42ce-8646-d3d4719f3a79-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Wiebes launched her sprint off the wheel of Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) 250 metres from the line, and nobody had any reply to her acceleration. As the Dutch champion pulled several bike lengths ahead, Kool edged out Veenhoven in the sprint for second place.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;jYDCcabO&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;X9\/mXVGac0NphghLH9hZaqWA5d3dhAM\/Ih07grnEyMLjuO2E&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnDesktop&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnMobile&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnTablet&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header>\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand inline-flex items-center\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/gmvwmhupgi1715762145.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] block h-[18px] w-auto shrink-0 brightness-0 invert\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"aspect-video w-full min-h-[200px] lg:min-h-[330px] relative overflow-hidden bg-black\" data-jwp-carousel-container>\n<div class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full items-center justify-center bg-white\" data-jwp-carousel-fallback><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/gmvwmhupgi1715762145.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] max-h-12 w-auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"min-h-[44px] bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting><a class=\"invisible block truncate text-sm font-bold leading-5 text-white underline decoration-solid underline-offset-2\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting-link href target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-jwp-carousel-signposting-title>Watch full video here: <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">\u201cI\u2019m really happy.

A counterattack was quickly neutralised, and the first lap of the city-centre circuit was uneventful until Antvorskov launched her solo move on N\u00f8rrebrogade.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The 21-year-old was never more than nine seconds off the front but held her gap for exactly a full lap before being caught.

She was 23 seconds behind when crossing the finish line with one lap remaining, but made her way back and was then piloted to the front by her team.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">In the final kilometres, the various sprint trains jostled for position, and in the end, it was Lucinda Brand (Lidl-Trek) who led the peloton onto the final kilometre and through the last turn onto the finishing straight with her teammates Clara Copponi and Balsamo on her wheel.

She was 23 seconds behind when crossing the finish line with one lap remaining, but made her way back and was then piloted to the front by her team.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">In the final kilometres, the various sprint trains jostled for position, and in the end, it was Lucinda Brand (Lidl-Trek) who led the peloton onto the final kilometre and through the last turn onto the finishing straight with her teammates Clara Copponi and Balsamo on her wheel. Millie Couzens (Fenix-Premier Tech) brought Kool alongside, but when the British champion swung off, Wiebes launched her sprint and pulled ahead to win.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-a009b07a-d28a-4cba-acb7-1faa80ff1a1b\" 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\/jyouACtcqn9DDBBtfxXw6-1024-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jyouACtcqn9DDBBtfxXw6-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jyouACtcqn9DDBBtfxXw6-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jyouACtcqn9DDBBtfxXw6-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jyouACtcqn9DDBBtfxXw6-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jyouACtcqn9DDBBtfxXw6-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The bunch sprint at the Copenhagen Sprint <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section kiosq-b\" id=\"section-results\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span>Results<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"elk-209d27c9-87ce-4d38-9db0-fc6be387404e\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><em><strong>Results powered by <\/strong><\/em><em><strong>FirstCycling<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/pro-cycling\/womens-cycling\/lorena-wiebes-makes-a-winning-comeback-after-giro-d-italia-disqualification-with-a-commanding-victory-at-the-copenhagen-sprint\/&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ymBWTM8dgBybcDuhUtkdAV-1024-80.jpg&#8221;] 1 As it happened: A dramatic late change in the overall after stage 9 of the Giro d&#8217;Italia Women deals a pulsating game of poker on wheels 2 Lorena Wiebes makes comeback after Giro disqualification, defending champion Jordi Meeus faces tough opposition \u2013 Copenhagen Sprint contenders 3 Copenhagen Sprint Women 2026 route [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[226,68],"class_list":["post-1988584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-crawlmanager","tag-cyclingnews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1988584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1988584"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1988584\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1988584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1988584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1988584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
