Team SD Worx were once again in the headlines after stage 5 of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, for good and bad reasons.
Team leader Demi Vollering was handed a 20-second time penalty for drafting behind her team car through part of the race convoy after a puncture. The team lost sprinter Lorena Wiebes due to illness before the stage and then Marlen Reusser’s chase behind Ricarda Bauernfeind (Canyon-SRAM) ‘only’ resulted in a second place.
