Kim Le Court (AG Insurance-Soudal) won stage 1 of the 2025 Tour of Britain Women, outsprinting Kristen Faulkner (EF Education-Oatly) as they held off the chase group by a few seconds. Lorena Wiebes (SDWorx-ProTime) won the sprint for third place.
Le Court had attacked on the second classified climb of the day, Langburn's Bank, and was joined by Faulkner on the descent. The two riders worked together well and had an advantage of up to 30 seconds on a chase group of around 20 riders, where Movistar and FDJ-Suez did most of the work.
