Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike) hasn't made it a secret that she wants to win the Maillot Vert this year. She wore it for two days and then lost it in the true sprint stages in Belgium. Today, she went into the early break for this moment. She jumped clear of the break to take the maximum points in the intermediate sprint in Sancey. With this win she pulled even with Charlotte Kool. Vos will need to score at least one point at the end of the stage to take over the sprinter's jersey. Spoiler, she took second on the stage, but she had to work hard for it. Behind her the former wearer of the Maillot Blanc of best young rider Anniina Ahtosalo pushed the veteran Vos but wasn't able to stay on her wheel when they got to the line. Ahtosalo is the current national champion of Finland thus the white jersey with the big blue cross.
