The gap to the other teams only grew as the course went on and the Aussie squad topped the timing sheets as they hit the finish line with a time of 9:33.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a tense wait as the remaining teams completed their efforts with Lidl-Trek eventually taking the win by a slim three seconds over the squad. With some big days to come as the race goes on, the result puts the team on a strong footing for what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Georgia Baker<\/strong><\/span><br>\u201cThird place is awesome for us and that was definitely a goal for us to get onto the podium in the TTT.

To be on the podium, we couldn\u2019t have asked for a better start than that. Of course, it\u2019s bittersweet to go so close to winning the stage and it not happening, but it\u2019s still a very good performance to start with and puts us in a good place to begin the race. Everybody is walking away really confident now, which is all we can ask for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">La Vuelta Femenina 2025 stage 1 results<\/span><br>1.
