Still on Her Own TdFF26-11
I think even the gendarme on the side of the road was surprised to see Riejanne Markus (Lidl-Trek) fly by still off the front of the peloton with just six kilometers to race. At this point, she still had over a half of a minute on the sprinters' teams led mainly by SD Worx-Protime. They were burning through riders trying to close the gap to this sole escapee. They did succeed, finally, inside of the final kilometer. It was a long shot that really challenged the team of the yellow jersey. So close!
