Rising Silkstone Common cyclist Imogen Wolff picked up her first stage win in the colours of Visma Lease A Bike over the weekend.

The 18-year-old prodigy won the third and final stage of the Vuelta a Extremadura in Spain on Saturday and secured the youth classification title in the process.

Wolff had finished third in the second stage, held on Friday, and also picked up 12th and 13th positions in the first day.

Overall she finished fifth in the general classification, showing her longer-term potential as a top contender in the sport.

Wolff said: "I am very happy with my first pro win. I didn't expect it to come so soon.

"The girls gave me full confidence to go for the day's win. When they ride so hard in front of you, you want to finish it. I'm happy that that worked out.

"I won the intermediate sprint at 10 kilometres and knew: if everything goes well, I'm able to win.

"The final was similar to yesterday (Friday), with a corner 100 metres from the finish line.

"I knew I had to go into the corner first and I did. After that I was able to hold on until the line."
