As she came over the crest of the La Super Planches des Belle Filles Annemiek Van Vleutin (Movistar) had barely enough left to pump her fist in the air. She was then caught by one of the helpers waiting to support each and every woman as they crossed the line completely exhausted. Once she had caught her breathe, the reality of winning the first Tour de France Femmes and the first true woman's Tour de France in almost forty years began to sink in. And she had done it by a bit under four minutes. She actually added time to her advantage over everyone else two days in a row, and won the stage both times. She is the second woman to win a stage wearing yellow in these past eight days. Gefeliciteerd
