Lorena Wiebes (Team SD Worx-Protime) won the opening stage of the Lloyds Tour of Britain Women in Cockermouth on Wednesday, taking the sprint in 4:03:09 from Chiara Consonni and Josie Nelson to claim the first leaders jersey.Rain arrived inside the final 10km but did nothing to slow the finish, with attacks going clear on the approach before SD Worx-Protime took control. Lotte Kopecky and Mischa Bredewold led Wiebes out through Cockermouth town centre, and Consonni took second by half a wheel from Nelson, the leading British finisher.The day began quietly along the Cumbrian energy coast, with only a short-lived move by Leila Gschwentner (Smurfit Westrock) before the first intermediate sprint at Allonby, where Karlijn Swinkels edged out her UAE Team LIMAD teammate Lara Gillespie, with Kim Le Court-Pienaar, Maggie Coles-Lyster and Marta Jaskulska taking the remaining points.Arabella Blackburn (Handsling Alba Road Development), the youngest rider in the race, launched the main break with just under 90km to go and was joined by Audrey De Keersmaeker (Team Picnic PostNL), the pair building almost three minutes. Blackburn was then stung by a bee and dropped away on the climb to Caldbeck, where De Keersmaeker took maximum points before fading on Parsonby Brow. Steffi Haberlin led Lauren Dickson over that summit, with De Keersmaeker recovering for third and enough points to lead the mountains classification.Wiebes leads Consonni by four seconds and Swinkels by five, and also heads the points classification. Fleur Moors (Lidl-Trek) leads the young riders and Team SD Worx-Protime the teams.Stage 2 on Thursday runs from Clitheroe to Blackpool, before the race crosses to Wales on Friday for a summit finish on the Great Orme. Stage 4 goes from Llanidloes to Hay-on-Wye, and the general classification is settled in Royal Leamington Spa on Sunday.Our RidersLara Gillespie was the leading Irish rider, finishing 48th at 2:28 and sitting 33rd overall. She was second in the opening intermediate sprint at Allonby behind her UAE teammate Swinkels, and lies eighth in the points classification on seven points.IRLIrish Riders Stage 1Wed 19 August 2026
