Lorena Wiebes celebrates (way) too early and lost Women's Amstel Gold Race to Marianne Von (carreer win #251).

That's unbelievable. I was expecting her to have a lead and go coasting over the line just behind someone going hard, but the field is right there with her. How could she be so stupid? I then thought maybe she thought she was over the line but that's impossible too, you couldn't miss it. Just unfathomably stupid, however long that race is and all you have to do is keep the hammer down for one more second.

But Pidcock did almost the same.
They thought they had enough advantage to celebrate. Lorena hadn't.

Why do they do it? Put all that work at risk for something you can still do if you just wait one second or more...
