Updates from 110.4km stage from Brest to Quimper
Stage one report: Vos claims yellow | Email Michael
It’s worth flagging that this is a particularly early start for the riders, after a relatively late finish (6.38pm BST) yesterday. That is a tight turnaround, for the riders and the support staff to get their meals, massage and rest in, especially as the finish in Plumelec is over 200km from today’s start in Brest.
Stage two, though, is the second shortest stage of this year’s race, clocking in at 110km.
This is our report from the first stage. Vos made a point of praising her Visma Lease a bike teammate, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, who herself had made a late break for the finish, before being overhauled.
