Tour de France Femmes Stage 3 2,500m of vertical gain. Race crosses the Jura mountains and the breakaway has a great chance. Wiebes could still win if moves cancel each other out 🏁 17:55 CEST

Tour de France Femmes Stage 2 🏁 17.55 CEST Unlike yesterday only final two hours on TV. Wiebes the obvious pick for the sprint win but interested to see if a strong break can form and if this means SD Worx left to chase, or other teams gift-wrap the finish
