Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) took her second consecutive stage victory in the Simac Ladies Tour, winning stage 3 in the sprint of a reduced group ahead of Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) and Lotte Kopecky who still finished third after leading out Wiebes.

On the completely flat terrain in the polders of Flevoland, the wind blew the peloton apart halfway through the stage, splitting it into four groups. For a long time, the gap between the front group of 22 and a chasing group of 24 riders fluctuated between 30 and 40 seconds, only rising in the last 15km.
