Wiebes wins in the sprint, but the jury demotes her to third place, Dygert second
Second stage of the Vuelta a Burgos women : 118.9 km from Sotresgudo to Lerma. The fans and the continuous ups and downs reduce the group a lot, in fact, with 20 km to go, only 14 athletes remain in the lead together, despite the absence of real climbs. The last hundreds of meters are uphill on a stretch of paved road, Wiebes is still the fastest : anticipates teammate Vollering and Dygert. However, the jury relegated her to third place due to irregularities in the sprint . As for the Italians: Balsamo fifth and Paladin eighth. In the general classification, Wiebes remains firmly in command with 13" on Dygert and 15" on Vollering.
