Nine riders given Tour de France Femmes time limit reprieve after stage 5

Tour de France Femmes: Human Powered Health riders wait for a decision after stage 5

Stage 5 of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift went off at a rapid pace in sweltering conditions, leaving a group of nine riders fighting to make the finish inside the time limit. After being initially deemed to be out of the race, the UCI jury reinstated all nine, but it wasn't an act of pity, according to Marjolein van 'T Geloof (Human Powered Health).

"We had to stop for the train with 2km to go. They took the time of that we stopped and we had to sprint to the line. They did not pity us," Van 'T Geloof explained in a reply on Twitter.
