Dutch rider Marianne Vos took over the yellow jersey in the women's Tour de France with victory in a three-way sprint to win the second stage from Meaux to Provins on Monday. Team Jumbo-Visma's Vos edged out Silvia Persico and Katarzyna Niewiadoma to claim the jersey from compatriot Lorena Wiebes who finished 29 seconds behind in sixth place. "It's not revenge, it's an absolutely wonderful day," said Vos who finished second behind Wiebes in Sunday's opening stage on the Champs-Elysees.
Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma) stamped her authority on the Tour de France Femmes after flying to victory on Stage 2, taking the yellow jersey in the process. Having finished second on Stage 1 behind Dutch compatriot Lorena Wiebes (DSM), Vos wasted little time wresting control of the race with an impressive sprint despite the best efforts of Elisa Longo Borghini (Trek-Segafredo).
The advent of the Tour de France Femmes has been described as a «pivotal» moment in the sport that will encourage more women and girls to take up professional cycling. The women’s edition of the race takes place for the first time in its current format this year following a 33-year absence since the last of its previous incarnation.
