Kimberley Le Court wins Stage 3 at Great Orme

Kimberley Le Court won Stage 3 of the Lloyds Tour of Britain Women 2026, finishing off a 104.7km hilly stage from Mold to The Great Orme.

The supplied profile tells the main tactical story available from the stage data: this was a hilly day, but not a summit finish. That distinction matters. A stage into The Great Orme with climbing on the route still rewards riders who can handle repeated pressure and positioning late, but the finish classification suggests the race was not simply reduced to a final uphill time trial.

With no detailed climb list or time gaps provided, the clean read is that Le Court was the rider who converted the terrain and the closing kilometres into the stage result. On a day like this, the decisive separation usually comes from how well a rider carries form through the climbs and still has enough control when the road stops being purely selective.

GC impact

Kim Le Court-Pienaar now sits first overall, ahead of Lorena Wiebes in second and Liane Lippert in third.

There are no supplied time gaps, previous GC standings, or jersey-change data, so the scale of the GC movement cannot be measured from the available information. What can be said is that the race leaves Stage 3 with Le Court-Pienaar at the top of the general classification, which makes the hilly Great Orme stage the key reference point for the current GC order.
