Marianne Vos has conceded that she is unlikely to win the Tour de France Femmes, despite reaching the midway point of the week-long race with her overall lead intact.
“You have to be realistic with the climbs coming this weekend,” Vos said of the race’s finale in the Vosges mountains. “Normally, the GC riders will be very strong and take a lot of time, so it’s a different kind of racing at the weekend. I’m very happy to wear the yellow jersey now.”
