Tour de France Femmes stage 3 LIVE – First chance for the sprinters

Le Court starts today decked out head to toe in yellow as the Mauritian rider gets her and Africa’s big moment.

The GC is finely balanced going into today. If Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike) takes any bonus seconds today then she will reclaim yellow from Kim Le Court (AG Insurance-Soudal) as they sit on the exact same time in GC.

Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime), the most likely candidate to win today and take the 10″ bonus, could jump up to joint 4th in GC with those bonuses and give herself the chance of taking yellow tomorrow.

The riders are all signing on before the start of the third stage in La Gacilly.

The riders will start the neutralised zone in about 20 minutes time.

The major news coming out this morning is that Italian champion and winner of the Giro d’Italia Women, Elisa Longo-Borghini (UAE Team ADQ), has left the race due to gastrointestinal issues.

Day three starts in La Gacilly and finishes in Angers after 163.5km of racing. The second longest stage of the race.

There is just one mountain sprint today, the category 4 Côte de la Richardière, which comes after 34km of racing. The intermediate sprint comes much later after 123km of racing in Vern-d’Anjou.
