Yara Kastelijn takes double victory on Vuelta a Burgos queen stage

The Vuelta a Burgos finished with stage 4 up the iconic climb of Lagunas de Neila, where the winner was all but sure to take overall victory off Lorena Wiebes, who'd won stages 1 and 2.

After the neutralisation of early attackers Sara Martín (Movistar) and Federica Venturelli (UAE Team ADQ), and the small handful of opportunists who countered before the finale, FDJ United-Suez took control on the finishing climb for Évita Muzic. The French rider attacked about 4 km from the summit, but she could not shake off Yara Kastelijn (Fenix-Premier Tech), who then made her move with more than a kilometre to go.

Kastelijn won the stage by 16 seconds over Muzic, with Usoa Ostolaza (Laboral Kutxa-Fundación Euskadi) taking an impressive third – these three took the same order on the final GC podium as stage 3-winner Mischa Bredewold slipped to fifth.
