Tour de France women 2023: Wiebes wins on the 3rd stage, Kopecky remains in yellow, the classification

Julie Van de Velde was very close to winning this third stage on Tuesday July 25, but the peloton took it back and Lorena Wiebes finally won it in the sprint

The weak breakaways of this third stage linking Collonges-la-Rouge to Montignac-Lascaux (147.2 km) did not overcome the peloton which went as far as the sprint. Unsurprisingly, Lorena Wiebes won and unleashed all her power. This final was led by the teams of sprinters who quickly locked the race by catching up with the girls in the lead each time. It was first Kathrin Hammes (Ef Education-Tibco-SVB) who was caught then Julie Van de Velde (Fenix-Deceuninck) who was caught in the last meters. Consolation prize, tomorrow she will put on the jersey of the best climber less than 20 kilometers from the finish

The yellow jersey does not change shoulders. Lotte Kopecky contested the sprint in vain. She finished third in the stage. She loses her green jersey in favor of the winner of the day. In reality, the peloton played with fire and the race came alive in the last 20 kilometres. Tomorrow, there could be changes since there will be difficulties with an arrival in Rodez.
