There was once a bicycle repairman around the corner that predicted that Lorena Wiebes would be the new Marianne Vos. “Ruud van der Schaft said that I remember well,” Wiebes knew on Sunday evening. The boss of Van der Schaft Tweewielers, on the Dorpsstraat in Uithoorn. He is starting to get more and more right. Last weekend Wiebes booked her hundredth professional victory, when she crossed the finish line at Gent-Wevelgem. She just turned 26 earlier this month.
