German champion Liane Lippert won the second stage of the Tour de France Women in a sprint on Monday July 24 in Mauriac in Cantal, where Belgian Lotte Kopecky, second, kept the yellow jersey. At the end of a final run on a wet road and marked by many falls, in particular the spectacular one of the Dutchwoman Eva van Agt who occupied the head of the race, Lippert went up Kopecky narrowly. Italian Silvia Persico took third place. Tuesday, the sprinters could be at the party on a completely flat course in its final part and connecting Collonges-la-Rouge in Corrèze to Montignac-Lascaut in Dordogne in a 147.2 kilometer long stage.
