The first pass through the finish line at Plumelec counted as the intermediate sprint today. Jumping clear of the peloton was the European Champion Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime) to claim the first sprint points towards the Maillot Vert. She will need to come in at least second to have the jersey at the start tomorrow. That being said, she will wear it unless she wins the stage because whomever wins will be wearing the first Maillot Jaune of this Tour de France Femmes. Taking second in the sprint is the German Champion Franziska Koch (Picnic-PostNL). While she didn't mind getting some points, she was starting her countermove off the front after the sprint. Generally speaking, the peloton sits up after the sprint, so it is a great time to go on the offensive.
