Summary

Prior to the race, Demi Vollering of SD Worx was considered the favourite, following a run of victories in the Ardennes classics and two second-place finishes at La Vuelta Femenina and Itzulia Women. [2]

In the race, the first stage was won by Lorena Wiebes of SD Worx, beating Elisa Balsamo of Trek–Segafredo in a bunch sprint. [4] The second stage was affected by crosswinds, with just 12 riders at the front at the final kilometre. After a sprint up a cobbled climb up to the finish in Lerma, Wiebes crossed the line first. However, she was later considered to have "bodychecked" Chloé Dygert of Canyon–SRAM with 150 metres to go, and was relegated to third place. Vollering therefore took the stage win, with Wiebes retaining the lead in the general classification. [5]

The third stage involved a seven rider breakaway that escaped with 40 km remaining. With 10 km to go, the breakaway had a lead of over a minute – and the peloton gave chase. Into the final kilometre, the breakaway still had a 15-second lead, however the sprint of Lorena Wiebes on an uphill finish allowed her to take a second stage win, with Balsamo second. Third place was taken by breakaway rider Sheyla Gutiérrez of Movistar Team. Wiebes retained her overall lead of the race. [6]

The final stage involved a mountain top finish at Lagunas de Neila  [ es ], a 12 kilometre climb with an average gradient of 6.3%. [2] As the peloton took to the climb, Wiebes had been dropped. On the climb, a fast pace was set by Marlen Reusser of SD Work. When she pulled off with 9.km to go, only 18 riders remained. Vollering then accelerated hard, with only Shirin van Anrooij of Trek–Segafredo able to follow her. With 8 kilometres of climbing to go, Vollering dropped van Anrooij, powering up the remainder of the stage to win by 1 minute 35 seconds. [3] [7]

Vollering therefore won the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas by over 2 minutes, with van Anrooij holding off Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio of AG Insurance–Soudal–Quick-Step for second place. Vollering took the mountains classification, Wiebes retained the points classification and van Anrooij won the young rider classification. [3]
