At the sign-in for stage 1 of the RideLondon Classique in Saffron Walden, Rebecca Koerner (Uno-X Mobility) was easy to spot in the red-and-white jersey of the Danish national champion. The 23-year-old will wear a different jersey on stage 2, though: She went into the breakaway and won all three QOM sprints, putting her in the orange-and-blue QOM jersey.
“We wanted to have an aggressive race and be out front with at least one rider. Luckily, I was the one who got to get away. I've really been looking forward to getting into a real breakaway, and today I succeeded, so I'm really happy,” Koerner said in the post-stage interview.
