Lauren Stephens from Aegis Cycling Mixed Team achieved a remarkable victory at the women's Tour de Bloom stage race, reclaiming her lead with a solo win at Mission Ridge Resort. This prestigious event, hosted in the Cascade Mountains for its 25th edition, became a UCI 2.2-level race. Stephens showcased her elite cycling skills by winning three stages and the mountain classification after notable performances at prior events. In the men's category, Matthew Wilson claimed the overall title, winning three final stages to secure his victory, further highlighting the competitive spirit of the multi-day race.
We had a lot of goals, number one was to win the GC. Number two was to win the race, number three was team GC. QOM was our next goal too, and we got that one too so we're happy," Stephens told organisers at the finish on Tuesday.
Finishing up here at the ski resort is exciting, finishing on the gravel makes for a great stage. It's exciting to see we have UCI status; it raises the profile of the race.
