The Dutch runner Demi Vollering (SD Worx) is the new leader of the women’s Vuelta a Burgos after meeting predictions and winning the second stage, held between Briviesca and Medina de Pomar, on a 123-kilometer route, with a mid-mountain profile.
Vollering crossed the finish line first Evita Muzic (FDJ-Suez) and Karlijn Swinkels (UAE Team).
Despite the fact that several runners escaped, the peloton arrived almost grouped on the last climb (Alto de Rosales), where the great favorite attacked and none of his rivals could face him.
114 participants left Briviesca after Sofia Bertizzolo and Elisa Balsamo were abandoned due to yesterday’s collapse.
The Argentine runner gained a slight advantage Anabel Yapura (Komugi) and the Paraguayan Seawater Spinola (Primeau Velo)but the adventure lasted only ten 10 kilometers.
Climbing the first pass (Alto de Barcina), UAE Team ADQ was in the middle of the stage with Polish Dominika Wlodarczyk but was absorbed before reaching Palazuelos de Cuesta Urría.
Just then Miryam Nuñez (Primeau Velo) and Marta Romeu (Laboral Kutxa) They left with an advantage, followed by Antri Christoforou (Toland) and Valentina Basilico (Eneicat) who formed a group that took advantage of up to two minutes.
But after the first pass through Medina de Pomar the advantage dwindled until the peloton rolled out of the town of Escaño. It remained stretched out and even split into two groups.
As the climb began, the peloton was losing steam, while at the front, no runner dared to attack.
Demi Vollering She attacked 500 meters from the finish line, Soraya Paladin could not follow her but Evita Muzic could, who fought until the last meters, but the Dutchwoman had no choice and took the victory and the lead.
