Noemi Rüegg (EF Education-Oatly) survived an onslaught of attacks in the final 30 kilometres to win the 2025 Women’s Tour Down Under in Stirling. The Swiss champion fought til the end and finished third on the stage to secure her first WorldTour stage race victory. 

Rüegg, isolated, faced relentless challenges from multiple teams, particularly Lidl-Trek, repeatedly forcing her to close gaps on her own. Despite the continuous pressure, none of the attacks succeeded, leading to a reduced bunch sprint.
