All it took was a climb in the final of the first stage in Clermont-Ferrand this Sunday July 23 for the Belgian Lotte Kopecky to claim the first yellow jersey of the second edition of the Tour de France Women by winning the first stage. At the same time, she seizes the polka dot jersey and the green jersey. The rider from the SD Worx team continued her momentum after taking the lead in the last difficulty of the day, the Durtol coast nine kilometers from the line. She signs the first success of her career on the Tour de France. She won with nearly a minute ahead of her Dutch teammate Lorena Wiebes who settled the sprint of the pursuers.
