All set, Marianne Vos? The Tour de France Femmes may be just three stages from finishing, but the Jumbo-Visma star is going to need to produce the defensive performance of her life if she is to keep the maillot jaune. Ad/> The kindest of those three tests comes on Friday, the last time the climbs have the audacity to be classed as hills rather than mountains.
Over the halfway mark and Stage 5 is both the longest of the Tour de France Femmes and, interestingly, longer than the designated maximum distance for women’s races set by the UCI. It’s a flat stage and one for the sprinters — although there are a few small bumps to contend with en route to Saint-Die-des-Vosges. The men’s race has started there before, with Peter Sagan winning on that day back in 2019 although he had to contend with the nearby Vosges Mountains on his way to victory.
Stage 4 of the Tour de France Femmes is not one for the faint-hearted as sections of gravelly unpaved roads await the peloton. The pack may well stay together until the halfway stage when the Cote de Celles-sur-Ource could prove the best location for a break to form, with the white chalky roads set to provide a stunning backdrop to what should be an entertaining stage.
Rahul Dravid, the current head coach of the Indian cricket team, was one of the most talented batters during his playing days. The former India captain made his Test and ODI debut in 1996 and then went on to score 13288 and 10889 runs in the two formats respectively. He had come under pressure too and faced tough situations due to lean patches in his career. But almost always he made brilliant comebacks and become one of the greatest batters ever in world cricket.
Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma) took an incredible 241st career victory on Stage 2 of the Tour de France Femmes. On a savage stage blighted by crosswinds and memorable as much for the numerous crashes as for the racing action, the Dutch rider was the strongest on the punchy climb up to the finish line in Provins and heads into Tuesday's stage in the maillot jaune.
Victorious Women's African Cup of Nations Banyana Banyana head coach Desiree Ellis detailed some of the sacrifices she made in pursuit of the Holy Grail that her team finally acquired last weekend.
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 on Sunday. The victory also meant that Wiebes will wear the first yellow jersey of the race on Stage 2, when she will be hoping to double up. Below, Becky Hart provided a preview for what we have coming up next...
Stage 21 is a 116km stage that will celebrate Jonas Vingegaard as yellow jersey holder before a final dash to the finish line. With Vingegaard comfortably ahead and as tradition dictates, there will be no challenge for his yellow jersey as the Jumbo-Visma rider heads towards the last yards.
