Lorena Wiebes (Team DSM) scored her 23rd win of the 2022 season at Binche-Chimay-Binche pour Dames on Tuesday, beating Marjolein van’t Geloof (Le Col-Wahoo) and Anniina Ahtosalo (Uno-X) to the line.
The Dutchwoman took advantage of a strong team with Pfeiffer Georgi and Charlotte Kool also racing, her DSM squad taking control of the race and eventually dragging back the breakaway on the hilly local circuit very late in the race.
It wasn’t until the riders hit the final kilometre that the break was caught, setting up DSM to lead out the sprint. Georgi led Wiebes out for the line and from there the 23-year-old shot to the win without much difficulty on the uphill cobbled run to the finish.
Wiebes can now add the semi-Classic triumph to a swathe of wins so far in 2022, with 13 of those coming at Women’s WorldTour level. Major wins this season include two stages at the Tour de France Femmes, all three stages and the overall at the RideLondon Classique, three stages at the Women’s Tour, the Ronde van Drenthe, and finally, two stages and the overall at the Simac Ladies Tour.
