Reflecting on her performance, Sander expressed satisfaction at being among the top contenders despite a challenging start to the event.

Her performance in the third stage marked a significant step forward, and although she acknowledged a lack of confidence in final sprints, she took pride in finishing among the elite group of riders.

As the general classification stands, Wiebes maintains her lead with an 18-second advantage over Gillespie and a 23-second lead over British cyclist Zoe Bäckstedt. Looking ahead to the final stage, which extends over 156 kilometers, these results set the stage for an exciting finish to the tour, especially with competitors like Sander looking to build on their current standings and experience from this prestigious event.
