Cycling: Marianne Vos won the sixth and thus her second stage of the Tour de France Femmes in her yellow jersey. The Dutchwoman thus extends her lead in the overall standings.
Vos sprints to victory, Wiebes falls
She's struck again: Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma) has won the sixth stage of the Tour de France Femmes, following her second stage victory. The woman in the yellow jersey has thus extended her overall lead. She now leads by 30 seconds over Italian Silvia Persico (Valcar-Travel & Service) and Polish rider Katarzyna Niewiadoma (Canyon/SRAM). However, with the stage heading into the mountains on Saturday and Sunday, the overall standings are likely to see some changes. Yesterday's stage winner, Lorena Wiebes (DSM), who also won two stages, was unable to contend for the stage win. The Dutch rider crashed with just under 20 kilometers to go and suffered painful abrasions. Second and third place today went to Italian Marte Bastianelli (UAE-ADQ) and Belgian Lotte Kopecky (SD-Worx).
The Yellow Jersey, Marianne Vos took her 2nd stage victory today in @LeTourFemmes after a powerful sprint against Bastianelli and Kopecky. Unfortunately, Lorena Wiebes couldn't contest it after crashing earlier. Tomorrow: mountains! ⛰️ #TDFF pic.twitter.com/W6XPP8BGel
