Seven years ago, in May 2018, a 19-year-old Lorena Wiebes recorded her first professional victory, sprinting to the win in the 7-Dorpenomloop Aalburg, a talented junior showing she could do it in the elites, too.
Fast forward to this Sunday, and Wiebes has just taken win number 100, defending her Gent-Wevelgem title and sitting comfortably as the best sprinter in the peloton – perhaps ever – with sprint accolades like a Champs-Elysée Tour de France Femmes stage victory and a Milan-San Remo win to her name.
