Lifeplus-Wahoo awoke on Friday morning to find that each one 14 of their bikes had been stolen from their lodge in the course of the Tour of Britain Girls. The British Continental staff is now desperately scrambling to seek out alternative bikes to proceed competing within the four-stage race, which resumes at this time with a stage in Wrexham.
In a heartfelt put up on X (previously often known as Twitter), the staff shared their dismay: “We woke this morning to seek out all 14 of our Ribble Endurance SLR bikes stolen from our mechanic’s van. We hope to discover a answer to allow us to begin in Wrexham at this time. Stolen from Macdonald Hill Valley Lodge, Whitchurch, Shropshire.”
The distinctive inexperienced Ribble bikes, every value at the very least £5,000, are invaluable to the staff. With Hunt Aerodynamicist wheels, their value is even increased, making the loss much more painful.
Biking Weekly has reached out to the staff and West Mercia Police for additional info on this surprising incident. The Tour of Britain Girls’s organisers, British Biking, are reportedly working intently with Lifeplus-Wahoo to discover a answer.
Amid this turmoil, the staff’s highest-placed rider, Babette van der Wolf, holds twenty second place, 4:02 behind race chief Lotte Kopecky, who claimed victory in stage one at Llandudno.
The biking neighborhood waits with bated breath, hoping for a swift decision that enables Lifeplus-Wahoo to proceed their brave battle within the Tour of Britain Girls.
