EPERNAY, France: Dane Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig outmuscled Marianne Vos to win stage three of the women’s Tour de France on Tuesday but the veteran Dutch rider held on to the yellow jersey.

The day after a nightmare stage two for her FDJ-Suez team, marked by the abandonment of title contender Marta Cavalli, Ludwig, who also battled back from a fall on Monday, produced a vintage performance in the Champagne region.

After two relatively flat rides, the peloton had to face its first climbs as they took on the 133.6km course from Reims to Epernay.

Eleven riders slugged it out over the final stages, with Vos working hard to rejoin the leaders after being dropped. The 35-year-old, who took over the yellow jersey with victory in stage two on Monday, kicked hard but it was the younger legs of 26-year-old Ludwig who powered through the line first. “I have to say that it feels like such a good comeback after yesterday,” said a tearful Ludwig who was wearing the jersey of Danish champion. “I just love how the team kept the fighting spirit.
