Team DSM rider Charlotte Kool won stage two of La Vuelta Femenina with an impressive sprint to the line.

Dutchwoman Kool pipped compatriot and Jumbo-Visma rider Marianne Vos to the line, with Canyon-Sram’s Chloe Dygert finishing in third place.

The second stage was a 105.8km ride from Orihuela to Pilar de la Horadada.

Vos’ second place means she takes the red jersey from team-mate Anna Henderson after the Briton won the first stage in Torrevieja.

Henderson is now fourth in the general classification after finishing ninth on stage two.

“This is my first big win in a Grand Tour, really nice to do it on the first sprint opportunity,” Kool said.

The third stage is a 158km ride from Elche de la Sierra to La Roda on Wednesday.
