Watching Each Other TdFF26-17
After attacking each other on the final climb of the day, this group of favorites sat up and looked to each other. Amongst the group are the new Maillot a Pois, Puck Pieterse (Fenix-Premier Tech) on the rear of the group with Antonia Niedermaier (Canyon/SRAM) along with Kim Le Court-Piemaar (AG Insurance-Soudal). It was Le Court who started the aggression but once covered seemed to decide to fight another day. Towards the front is the defending Tour de France Femmes champion, Pauline Ferrand-Prevot (Visma-Lease a Bike) and her teammate Femke De Vries amongst others. They did sit up and let the rest of the peloton catch them. In addition, they never caught the two up the road leaving the Visma-Lease a Bike duo's teammate Marianne Vos to sprint for third place on the stage.
