'Quite shy' and 'an absolute killer' –The two sides of Tour de France Femmes sprint dominator Lorena Wiebes

Team SD Worx-Protime's Dutch rider Lorena Wiebes wearing the overall leader's yellow jersey celebrates after crossing the finish line and winning the second (out of 9) stage of the fifth edition of the Women's Tour de France cycling race, 147.9 km from Aigle to Geneva, in Geneva on August 2, 2026.
