Ally Wollaston was a sharp presence in the 2026 spring bunch sprints for FDJ United-SUEZ. At Milano-Sanremo Donne the New Zealander couldn't make the Poggio selection but contested the chasing-group sprint, taking seventh at +0:09 just behind defending champion Lorena Wiebes — a strong showing on a brutally selective Monument that underlined her speed whenever the race came back together.
Third on the day for FDJ United-Suez, her best result of the race, after a top-10 on Stage 1. A solid sprinting return for the team while Muzic was kept in reserve for the climbing finale.
Defended her title in style, surviving both ascents of Challambra in the 12-rider front group and producing the day's strongest sprint on the Geelong waterfront. Her third win of the Australian summer and the first back-to-back women's victory at Cadel Evans.
The two-time stage winner and overnight leader had no answer when the Corkscrew was hit for the first time, getting dropped immediately and losing the ochre jersey. She still salvaged the points classification from her two stage wins earlier in the week.
Backed by a disciplined FDJ team that chased down the day's big move and shut every late attack, Wollaston produced a second perfectly judged uphill sprint. Rüegg opened first on the Paracombe climb, but Wollaston came from deeper and powered past in the final metres for back-to-back wins and a firmer grip on the overall lead.
Wollaston opened the WorldTour season in style, winning Stage 1 by catching Alessia Vigilia inside the final 300 m and then beating Rüegg in the Stage 2 sprint at Paracombe for back-to-back wins and the ochre jersey. She defended the lead through two days with strong FDJ teamwork, but the double-Corkscrew final stage was a climb too far: she was dropped on the first ascent and lost the overall, salvaging the week with two stage wins and the retained points classification.
Wollaston timed the season opener perfectly, holding her effort until the Lower Willunga Hill finish where she ran down the long-range attacker Vigilia inside the last 300 m. The win gave her both the stage and the first ochre jersey of 2026, an emphatic statement of early-season sprint form.
