Ceratizit Festival Elsy Jacobs 2021 – Prologue ITT – Dunkerque – Iwuy : 197,1 km

The Festival Luxembourgeois du cyclisme féminin Elsy Jacobs formerly known as the Grand Prix Elsy Jacobs is an international women’s road bicycle race held in Garnich, Luxembourg. Since 2008 this event is on the UCI women’s elite cycle racing calendar. Between 2009 and 2011 it was rated as an UCI 1.1 category race and since 2012 the race is a 2.1 category stage race. The race is named after Elsy Jacobs the first winner of the UCI Road World Championships – Women’s Road Race

Lorena Wiebes and Leah Kirchmann of Team DSM took the top two spots in the opening stage of the 2021 Ceratizit Festival Elsy Jacobs on Friday. Wiebes rode the technical 2.2km prologue course in 3:12, with Kirchmann three seconds back.

A trio of Dutch riders completed the top five, with Karlijn Swinkels of Jumbo-Visma Women taking the final podium spot just half a second behind Kirchmann, followed by Thalita de Jong (Bingoal Casino-Chevalmeire) and 21-year-old Lonneke Uneken (SD Worx), who was recognised as the best young rider.

The late-afternoon prologue in Cessange was a short, but challenging. Just after the start, each of the 108 riders took on a 13 per cent climb followed by a sharp descent and in the final kilometre powered up a gradual climb to the finish line.

“It was a fast and technical prologue. You had to go all in from the start to the finish line. This was also one of my goals today, so it’s nice to have a good day and everything go well,” Wiebes said. “It’s great to finish it off with first and second for the team. We’re looking forward to the next stages now!”
