Lotto Belgium Tour 2021 – Stage 2 [FULL STAGE] (ladies)

June 24, 2021

Lotto Belgium Tour 2021 – Stage 2 – Galmaarden – Galmaarden : 137,5 km

Beginning in 2012, the Lotto Belgium Tour returns to the calendar after a year’s forced absence due to the pandemic. Formerly known as the Lotto-Decca Tour, the Women’s Elite elite stage race is a 2.1 ranked event that takes place over four days in Belgium. Taking place over the course of four days, the race begins with an opening prologue, preceding the three road stages that will decide the overall winner. This year’s race was originally scheduled to be completed on June 27. Instead, this year’s Lotto Belgium Tour will begin with an opening prologue on June 22, eventually finishing three days later. As such, it is possible that many riders will ride the Belgium stage race in preparation for a big crack at La Course. The women’s race takes in a variety of tough climbs and cobbled sectors, providing an enthralling few days of racing. The final stage has finished in Geraardsbergen in every single edition of the race, taking in the iconic Muur van Geraardsbergen. The final showdown promises to offer a delightful taste of the Flemish climbs, with the Bosberg also included on the route.

Canyon-SRAM’s Alena Amialiusik attacked in the final kilometres in Galmaarden to win stage 2 of the Lotto Belgium Tour. From a small group of four chasers, Lorena Wiebes (Team DSM) took second and Lotte Kopecky (Belgium National Team) finished third.

With her second-place finish, Wiebes takes the overall race lead heading into the final day.

The penultimate day of the four-day stage race was the longest at 137.5km with a 27.5km circuit in and around Galmaarden covered five times.

Like the day before, Bingoal Casino-Chevalmeire Cycling was active and this time sent Rotem Gafinovitz on the offensive with a solo attack at the Steenhoutberg climb on the second lap. She was joined on the next circuit by a trio of riders – Alice Barnes (Canyon-SRAM), Kopecky and Ellen van Dijk (Trek-Segafredo).

Barnes would be left on her own at the end of the fourth lap with a mere 15-second lead, as Gafinovitz had rolled back into the peloton and both Kopecky and Van Dijk suffered flat tyres, the Belgian champion with 40km to go and Van Dijk a few kilometres later.

With 10km to go on a section of cobbles, an attempt at a breakaway by Hanna Ludwig (Canyon-SRAM) was reeled back by Van Dijk and a select group of seven riders, which included Wiebes and Kopecky.

All came back together on the bell lap for the fast finish and Amialiusik’s first victory of the year.
