Baloise Ladies Tour 2023 WE – Prologue ITT – Vlissingen – Vlissingen : 2,6 km
The Baloise Ladies Tour (formerly the BeNe Ladies Tour) is a women’s staged cycle race which takes place in Belgium and the Netherlands and is currently rated by the UCI as category 2.1.
Charlotte Kool (Team dsm-firmenich) took out the seventh win of the season in the Baloise Ladies Tour. The Dutch woman powered across the 2.6-kilometre prologue to clock the fastest time ahead of Lucinda Brand (Lidl-Trek).
Jenny Rissveds (Coop-Hitec Products) was third.
Kool’s time was only thousandths of a second faster than Brand, both clocking 3:06 on a blustery day. She’ll head into the first road stage with the race leader’s jersey on Thursday.
“It’s super nice because I know this course like the back of my hand – I often come here on vacation,” Kool said. “It was really a goal to be there today. There are still very nice stages to come, but I want to defend that leader’s jersey to the end.”
