Following their resounding victory on stage 1 in Paris, Team DSM and Lorena Wiebes have raced to a second stage win at the Tour de France Femmes on stage 5 into Saint-Dié-des-Vosges.
The longest stage of the week also presented the final sprint opportunity of the race and it was one that the team were keen to make the most of. After the early break of four riders had established itself, the team set about controlling the stage and keeping their lead in check, while keeping Wiebes out of trouble. Once everything was back together, a hectic finale unravelled but Wiebes held her cool to time her sprint to perfection and power clear for her second stage win at the race.
