Kim Le Court has sealed overall victory at the Tour of Britain Women in Royal Leamington Spa, despite Lorena Wiebes grabbing her fourth stage win in five and her 11th career stage win in the British race. The Dutch sprinter's typically irresistible sprint earned her the 137th win of her career, but it wasn't enough to dislodge Le Court from the top spot.

Le Court, who won a stage and finished ninth overall in the Tour de France Femmes, based her success on a solo victory in Friday's stage to the Great Orme, overlooking Llandudno. It was the most significant stage race victory of the Mauritian rider's career, and she clearly decided one big win was plenty.

Wiebes, meanwhile, had to work for her win. Sara Martín of Movistar, British rider Alice Towers, and Eva van Agt - teammate to Tour de France Femmes winner Demi Vollering at FDJ United-Suez - slipped clear with 110km to race and worked together well enough to distance the peloton. The three-rider breakaway built a lead approaching two-and-a-half minutes until the climbs of Sun Rising Hill and Burton Dassett took their toll, and the chasing field picked up speed.

In a frenzied final 20km, the advantage of the day's breakaway trio was steadily eroded as the peloton accelerated on the approach to the Warwickshire spa town. Even with under 5km remaining, the trio still led by half a minute, but they were finally reeled in with barely a kilometre to race - just in time for Wiebes to once again sprint to success. Because of course she did.
