Lorena Wiebes of the Netherlands lived up to expectations as she won the opening stage of the women's Tour de France and claim the first yellow jersey of the resurrected race on the Champs Elysees.
Lorena Wiebes (DSM) won a drag race against Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma) on the Champs-Elysees to become the first stage winner in Tour de France Femmes history. The victory also means Wiebes will wear the first yellow jersey of the race on Stage 2, when she will be hoping to double up. The women's edition of the Tour de France, revived by the same organisers after a 33 year absence, began on the same Parisien stage on which the men will complete their three week journey later today.
Elisa Longo Borghini claimed the Women's Tour title by one second following a thrilling sprint finish in Oxford.
A third place stage finish delivered Elisa Longo-Borghini (Trek Segafredo) the four bonus seconds she needed to secure her first Women’s Tour by a single second. No-one could match the acceleration of Lorena Wiebes (Team DSM) at the finish, as the Dutchwoman won for the third time this week. But it was the tactical superiority and leg speed of the Italian that made the difference in the battle for the overall title.
Trek-Segafredo’s Elisa Longo Borghini took an emphatic victory on Stage 5 of the Women’s Tour atop the Black Mountain in the Brecon Beacons National Park. The Italian champion broke clear of a small group of elite riders to beat Canyon//SRAM’s Kasia Niewiadoma to the line, ahead of yellow jersey Grace Brown in third. The Australian, riding for FDJ-Nouvelle-Aquitaine-Futuroscope, retains the lead in the general classification following a day of attritional racing in South Wales.
