'Sorry to my team for failing them' – rider misses time cut on Tour de France Femmes opening stage

Alison Avoine competing at Paris-Roubaix.

Ma Petite Entreprise rider Alison Avoine lived out “one of the worst days of my career” on Saturday, when she missed the time cut on stage one of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.

The Frenchwoman finished the stage in Lausanne alone at the back of the race, almost 27 minutes after the winner Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx-Protime), and just one minute and 45 seconds adrift of the time cut – fixed at an extra 12% of the winner’s time.
