Kool notches first victory of 2025 at Baloise Ladies Tour
Just in time for the Tour de France Femmes later this month, Charlotte Kool is hitting her stride. The PicNic-PostNL sprinter won stage 2 of the Baloise Ladies Tour on Thursday, outkicking Chiara Consonni (Canyon-SRAM Zondacrypto) and Visma-Lease a Bike's Nienke Veenhoven. It's Kool's first victory of 2025 after near-misses in the UAE Tour, Gent-Wevelgem, and the Dutch national championships. With her third-place finish in Wednesday's prologue, she now leads the Baloise overall standings by eight seconds over Zoe Bäckstedt.
