The gap was never very big. Tearing solo into Quimper on stage two of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, Mavi García’s lead was only around 25 seconds at its largest, falling below 10 in the final drag up to the finishing straight. The road then flattened out, and her charge would surely be up. The peloton could see her, after all.
300m, 200m, 100m, but still the catch didn’t come. Sprinting out the saddle, a blur of white in her European champion’s kit, Lorena Wiebes burst across the line. She arrived three seconds too late.
