Kool won the first leg of the Women’s UAE Tour marked by two serious falls

accidental ending of first stage of the Women’s UAE Tour, 109 kilometers in between Port Rashid and Dubai Harbour. Not because of the outcome of the test, but because of the approach to it, which was marked by two multiple falls in the last four kilometers. The first took place at the exit of a tunnel and uphill, 3.6 kilometers from the finish line. And just when the peloton seemed to be regaining its composure, the retreat of the first positions caused a fall with a domino effect.

Runners have their fingers crossed with more than 2,500 meters to go. First you have to save a wide right-hand curve, before facing the long finish line, preamble to the sun sprint sung.

All eyes are on European champion Lorraine Wiebes. His group, Team SD Worx, she worked well to put her on pole for the win, but on her right her compatriot C improvedCharlotte Kool to grab the victory and achieve his fifth professional victory in his first race of the year, in addition to leading the test. Better yet, impossible.
