Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner Lorena Wiebes said: “It’s nice to finally win the last stage of the UAE Tour Women and the team worked very hard for it. It was chaotic in the last kilometres. I lost the train but I found my way out and I was able to sprint. I knew that it was mostly headwind towards the finish so I didn’t want to come too early to the front. I felt somebody on the right and that meant it was time for my final effort. I hit something with my right knee and my handlebar with 10km to go. For a few kilometres I had no power in my right leg. But then it was full adrenaline. It’s really nice to start the season with three stage wins at the UAE Tour Women. For the team it’s something we can build on for the rest of the year”.
