It was a solid day for our team in Stage 3 of the Tour of Britain Women, with Karlijn Swinkels and Eleonora Gasparrini finishing 4th and 5th respectively after staying in the front group throughout a challenging, rain-soaked stage. Swinkels now climbs to third place in the General Classification.
Both riders were active throughout the stage and played key roles in the final selection on a tough day marked by relentless rain and tricky conditions.
It was also a positive stage for Polish champion Dominika Wlodarczyk, who went on the attack in the climbs and is now the new leader of the Queen of the Mountains classification.
Stage 3 covered 143.8 km with both the start and finish in Kelso. The race now heads to Glasgow for tomorrow’s grand finale.
